Now that we have Hadoop up and running on the ODROID XU4 cluster, let’s take it for a spin. Every technical platform has a “Hello World” type project, and for Hadoop and other map-reduce platforms, it is Word Count. In fact, the Apache Hadoop MapReduce Tutorial uses Word Count to demonstrate how to write a Hadoop job.  We are going to use that tutorial’s code. However, at the time of this writing the WordCount example on the Apache Hadoop site has a bug in it. I’ve corrected that bug and posted the updated code to my Github repository for the ODROID XU4 cluster project. Log into the master node as hduser. We need to update the environment variables so that you can easily build Hadoop jobs. Do this by editing the .bashrc file and add the following at the end: export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed “s:bin/java::”).. export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/hadoop/sbin:/usr/local/hadoop/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/bin export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=${JAVA_HOME}/lib/tools.jar Then grab the corrected Word Count job code from the Read More …
