Lab #1 Setup and General Notes

Dr. Gasan Elkhodari

Installing Hadoop VM on your laptop ( Windows users) Hardware Requirements: 64 bit OS, Windows Laptop with SSD, with 50 Gb of free space and at least 8GB of memory. Hadoop/Linux sandbox requires at least 8 Gb of memory to run correctly.

Windows 10 1. Download the VM Sandbox image (the executable file) from:

Lab #1 – General Note

This Lab uses the a Virtual Machine running the CentOS Linux distribution. This VM has CDH

(Cloudera’s Distribution, including Apache Hadoop) installed in Pseudo-Distributed mode. Pseudo-

Distributed mode is a method of running Hadoop whereby all Hadoop daemons run on the same

machine. It is, essentially, a cluster consisting of a single machine. It works just like a larger Hadoop

cluster, the only difference (apart from speed, of course!) being that the block replication factor is

set to 1, since there is only a single Data Node available.

Lab#1 – HDFS Setup

Enable services and set up any data required for the course. You must run this script before starting the Lab.

$ $DEV1/scripts/training_setup_dev1.sh

Lab#1 HDFS Setup - Continue

Lab#1 – Access HDFS with Command Line

• Assignment

1) Move the data folder “KB” that is under the location “/home/training/training_materials/data” to the Hadoop file system /loudacre

Hints:

• Use ‘hdfs dfs -mkdir’ command to create a new directory ‘/loudacre’ in the HDFS file system

• Use ‘hdfs dfs –put’ command line to move the data from the local Linux file system into HDFS

file system

• Use ‘hdfs dfs –cat’ to view the data you just moved into HDFS

• Output View one the files you just moved by ’hdfs dfs –cat’, take screenshot and upload it in the designated assignment folder.
