How to Build HADOOP CLUSTER Using 2 Linux Machines

STEP 1) Install Java 6 or above on Linux machine ( jdk1.6.0.12 )
I am having 'jdk-6u12-linux-i586.bin' on my REDHAT machine.
To Install follow commands :
# chmod 744 jdk-6u12-linux-i586.bin
# ./ jdk-6u12-linux-i586.bin

STEP 2) Download 'jce-policy-6.zip'
extract it.
# cp -f jce/*.jar $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/seciruty/
# chmod 444 $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/seciruty/*.jar

STEP 3) Download hadoop-0.20.0.tar.gz or any latest version
extract it and copy ' hadoop-0.20.0' folder to '/usr/local/' directory.

STEP 4) Set JAVA PATH
# export JAVA_HOME=/java_installation_folder/jdk1.6.0_12
STEP 5) Set HADOOP PATH
# export HADOOP_HOME=/usr/local/hadoop-0.20.2
# export PATH=$PATH:SHADOOP_HOME/bin
Install same on second Linux machine
Then Description of machines is :

Server IP                             HostName                                Role

1) 192.168.100.19             hostmaster         Master [ NameNode and JobTracker ]
2) 192.168.100.17             hostslave            Slave [ Datanode and TaskTracker]


STEP 6) Now do following settings on Master :

# vim /etc/hosts
make changes as...
comment all and write at the end
192.168.100.19 hostmaster
save and exit

Changes to be made on Slave Machine :

# vim /etc/hosts
make changes as...
comment all and write at the end
192.168.100.17 hostslave
192.168.100.19 hostmaster
save and exit

STEP 7) For Communication setup SSH :

Do the steps on master as well as on slave-
# ssh-keygen -t rsa
it generates the RSA public & private keys.
This is because Hadoop Master Node communicates with Slave Node using SSH.
This will generate 'id_rsa.pub' file under '/root/.ssh' directory. Now rename the Master's id_rsa.pub to '19_rsa.pub' and copy it to Slave Node (at same path).
Then execute the following command to add the Master's public key to the Slave's authorized keys.

# cat /root/.ssh/19_rsa.pub >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

Now try to ssh the Slave Node. It should be connected without needing any password.

# ssh 192.168.100.17

STEP 8) Setting up MASTER NODE :
Setup Hadoop to work in a fully distributed mode by configuring the configuration files under the $HADOOP_HOME/conf/ directory.

Configuration Property :
Property                                               Explanation
1) fs.default.name                              NameNode URI
2) mapred.job.tracker                       JobTracker URI
3) dfs.replication                                Number of replication
4) hadoop.tmp.dir (optional)              Temp Directory

Let us Start with Configuration files :

1) $HADOOP_HOME/conf/hadoop-env.sh
make change as...
export JAVA_HOME=/java_installation_folder/jdk1.6.0_12

2) $HADOOP_HOME/conf/core-site.xml

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

3) $HADOOP_HOME/conf/hdfs-site.xml

<configuration>
<property>
<name>dfs.replication</name>
<value>1</value>
</property>
</configuration>

4) $HADOOP_HOME/conf/mapred-site.xml

<configuration>
<property>
<name>mapred.job.tracker</name>
<value>localhost:9001</value>
</property>
</configuration>

5) $HADOOP_HOME/conf/masters
192.168.100.19

6) $HADOOP_HOME/conf/slaves
192.168.100.17

Now copy all these files to /conf directory of SLAVE Machine.

STEP 9) Setup Master and Slave Node : (run on both machines)

# hadoop namenode -format
# start-all.sh

Now your Cluster is Ready to run Jobs
