Then jdk-7u71-linux-x64.tar.gz will be downloaded onto your system.

Step II:

Generally you will find the downloaded java file in the Downloads folder. Verify it and extract the jdk-7u71-linux-x64.gz file using the following commands.

$ cd Downloads/
$ ls
jdk-7u71-linux-x64.gz
$ tar zxf jdk-7u71-linux-x64.gz
$ ls
jdk1.7.0_71 jdk-7u71-linux-x64.gz

Step III:

To make java available to all the users, you have to move it to the location “/usr/local/”. Open root, and type the following commands.

$ su
password:
# mv jdk1.7.0_71 /usr/local/
# exit

Step IV:

For setting up PATH and JAVA_HOME variables, add the following commands to ~/.bashrc file.

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.7.0_71
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

Now apply all the changes into the current running system.

$ source ~/.bashrc

Step V:

Use the following commands to configure java alternatives:

# alternatives --install /usr/bin/java/java/usr/local/java/bin/java 2

# alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac/javac/usr/local/java/bin/javac 2

# alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar/jar/usr/local/java/bin/jar 2

# alternatives --set java/usr/local/java/bin/java

# alternatives --set javac/usr/local/java/bin/javac

# alternatives --set jar/usr/local/java/bin/jar

Now verify the installation using the command java -version from the terminal as explained above.

Step 2: Verifying Hadoop Installation

Hadoop must be installed on your system before installing Hive. Let us verify the Hadoop installation using the following command:

$ hadoop version

If Hadoop is already installed on your system, then you will get the following response:

Hadoop 2.4.1 Subversion https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common -r 1529768 
Compiled by hortonmu on 2013-10-07T06:28Z 
Compiled with protoc 2.5.0 
From source with checksum 79e53ce7994d1628b240f09af91e1af4

If Hadoop is not installed on your system, then proceed with the following steps:

Downloading Hadoop

Download and extract Hadoop 2.4.1 from Apache Software Foundation using the following commands.

$ su
password:
# cd /usr/local
# wget http://apache.claz.org/hadoop/common/hadoop-2.4.1/
hadoop-2.4.1.tar.gz
# tar xzf hadoop-2.4.1.tar.gz
# mv hadoop-2.4.1/* to hadoop/
# exit

Installing Hadoop in Pseudo Distributed Mode

The following steps are used to install Hadoop 2.4.1 in pseudo distributed mode.

Step I: Setting up Hadoop

You can set Hadoop environment variables by appending the following commands to ~/.bashrc file.

export HADOOP_HOME=/usr/local/hadoop 
export HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME 
export HADOOP_COMMON_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME 
export HADOOP_HDFS_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME 
export YARN_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_COMMON_LIB_NATIVE_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/lib/native export
PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/sbin:$HADOOP_HOME/bin

Now apply all the changes into the current running system.

$ source ~/.bashrc

Step II: Hadoop Configuration

You can find all the Hadoop configuration files in the location “$HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop”. You need to make suitable changes in those configuration files according to your Hadoop infrastructure.

$ cd $HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop

In order to develop Hadoop programs using java, you have to reset the java environment variables in hadoop-env.sh file by replacing JAVA_HOME value with the location of java in your system.

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.7.0_71

Given below are the list of files that you have to edit to configure Hadoop.

core-site.xml

The core-site.xml file contains information such as the port number used for Hadoop instance, memory allocated for the file system, memory limit for storing the data, and the size of Read/Write buffers.

Open the core-site.xml and add the following properties in between the <configuration> and </configuration> tags.

<configuration>

   <property> 
      <name>fs.default.name</name> 
      <value>hdfs://localhost:9000</value> 
   </property>
   
</configuration>

hdfs-site.xml

The hdfs-site.xml file contains information such as the value of replication data, the namenode path, and the datanode path of your local file systems. It means the place where you want to store the Hadoop infra.

Let us assume the following data.

dfs.replication (data replication value) = 1

(In the following path /hadoop/ is the user name.
hadoopinfra/hdfs/namenode is the directory created by hdfs file system.)

namenode path = //home/hadoop/hadoopinfra/hdfs/namenode

(hadoopinfra/hdfs/datanode is the directory created by hdfs file system.)
datanode path = //home/hadoop/hadoopinfra/hdfs/datanode

Open this file and add the following properties in between the <configuration>, </configuration> tags in this file.

<configuration>

   <property> 
      <name>dfs.replication</name> 
      <value>1</value> 
   </property> 
   <property> 
      <name>dfs.name.dir</name> 
      <value>file:///home/hadoop/hadoopinfra/hdfs/namenode </value> 
   </property> 
   <property> 
      <name>dfs.data.dir</name>
      <value>file:///home/hadoop/hadoopinfra/hdfs/datanode </value > 
   </property>
   
</configuration>

Note: In the above file, all the property values are user-defined and you can make changes according to your Hadoop infrastructure.

yarn-site.xml

This file is used to configure yarn into Hadoop. Open the yarn-site.xml file and add the following properties in between the <configuration>, </configuration> tags in this file.

<configuration>

   <property> 
      <name>yarn.nodemanager.aux-services</name> 
      <value>mapreduce_shuffle</value> 
   </property>
   
</configuration>

mapred-site.xml

This file is used to specify which MapReduce framework we are using. By default, Hadoop contains a template of yarn-site.xml. First of all, you need to copy the file from mapred-site,xml.template to mapred-site.xml file using the following command.

$ cp mapred-site.xml.template mapred-site.xml

Open mapred-site.xml file and add the following properties in between the <configuration>, </configuration> tags in this file.

<configuration>

   <property> 
      <name>mapreduce.framework.name</name> 
      <value>yarn</value> 
   </property>

</configuration>

Verifying Hadoop Installation

The following steps are used to verify the Hadoop installation.

Step I: Name Node Setup

Set up the namenode using the command “hdfs namenode -format” as follows.

$ cd ~
$ hdfs namenode -format

The expected result is as follows.

10/24/14 21:30:55 INFO namenode.NameNode: STARTUP_MSG: 
/************************************************************ 
STARTUP_MSG: Starting NameNode 
STARTUP_MSG: host = localhost/192.168.1.11 
STARTUP_MSG: args = [-format] 
STARTUP_MSG: version = 2.4.1 
... 
... 
10/24/14 21:30:56 INFO common.Storage: Storage directory 
/home/hadoop/hadoopinfra/hdfs/namenode has been successfully formatted. 
10/24/14 21:30:56 INFO namenode.NNStorageRetentionManager: Going to 
retain 1 images with txid >= 0 
10/24/14 21:30:56 INFO util.ExitUtil: Exiting with status 0
10/24/14 21:30:56 INFO namenode.NameNode: SHUTDOWN_MSG: 
/************************************************************ 
SHUTDOWN_MSG: Shutting down NameNode at localhost/192.168.1.11
 ************************************************************/

Step II: Verifying Hadoop dfs

The following command is used to start dfs. Executing this command will start your Hadoop file system.

$ start-dfs.sh

The expected output is as follows:

10/24/14 21:37:56 
Starting namenodes on [localhost] 
localhost: starting namenode, logging to /home/hadoop/hadoop-2.4.1/logs/hadoop-hadoop-namenode-localhost.out 
localhost: starting datanode, logging to /home/hadoop/hadoop-2.4.1/logs/hadoop-hadoop-datanode-localhost.out 
Starting secondary namenodes [0.0.0.0]

Step III: Verifying Yarn Script

The following command is used to start the yarn script. Executing this command will start your yarn daemons.

$ start-yarn.sh

The expected output is as follows:

starting yarn daemons 
starting resourcemanager, logging to /home/hadoop/hadoop-2.4.1/logs/yarn-hadoop-resourcemanager-localhost.out 
localhost: starting nodemanager, logging to /home/hadoop/hadoop-2.4.1/logs/yarn-hadoop-nodemanager-localhost.out

Step IV: Accessing Hadoop on Browser

The default port number to access Hadoop is 50070. Use the following url to get Hadoop services on your browser.

http://localhost:50070/

Step V: Verify all applications for cluster

The default port number to access all applications of cluster is 8088. Use the following url to visit this service.

http://localhost:8088/

Step 3: Downloading Hive
