Prerequisites

  1. Homebrew

Installing Hadoop 

1

$ brew install hadoop

Hadoop will be installed in the following directory /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop

Configuring Hadoop

Edit hadoop-env.sh

The file can be located at /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.8.0/libexec/etc/hadoop/hadoop-env.sh where 2.8.0 is the hadoop version.

Find the line with

1

export HADOOP_OPTS="$HADOOP_OPTS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true"

and change it to

1

export HADOOP_OPTS="$HADOOP_OPTS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.security.krb5.realm= -Djava.security.krb5.kdc="

Edit Core-site.xml

The file can be located at /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.8.0/libexec/etc/hadoop/core-site.xml

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

Edit mapred-site.xml

The file can be located at /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.8.0/libexec/etc/hadoop/mapred-site.xml and by default will be blank.

To simplify life edit your ~/.profile using vim or your favorite editor and add the following two commands. By default ~/.profile might not exist. If it doesn’t work after restarting terminal, try to edit ~/.bash_profile.

alias hstart="/usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.8.0/sbin/start-dfs.sh;/usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.8.0/sbin/start-yarn.sh"
alias hstop="/usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.8.0/sbin/stop-yarn.sh;/usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.8.0/sbin/stop-dfs.sh"
and execute
1

$ source ~/.profile

in the terminal to update.

Before we can run Hadoop we first need to format the HDFS using

1

$ hdfs namenode -format

SSH Localhost

Nothing needs to be done here if you have already generated ssh keys. To verify just check for the existance of ~/.ssh/id_rsa and the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub files. If not the keys can be generated using

1

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

Enable Remote Login

“System Preferences” -> “Sharing”. Check “Remote Login”

Authorize SSH Keys

To allow your system to accept login, we have to make it aware of the keys that will be used

1

$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Let’s try to login.

$ ssh localhost
Last login: Fri Mar  6 20:30:53 2015
$ exit

Running Hadoop

Now we can run Hadoop just by typing

1

$ hstart

and stopping using

1

$ hstop
