Hadoop on EC2

Configuring and running Hadoop clusters, using Cloudera distribution

My farm

 

Start

 

Confirm

 

OK, it's running

 

Set /etc/hosts

 

Logging into an EC2 machine

ec2_login.sh:#!/bin/shssh -i ~/.ssh/shmsoft_hadoop.pem ubuntu@$1

For example,

ec2_login sh1

Run command on the cluster

run_on_cluster.sh: #!/bin/bashfor i in {1..6}do  ssh -i ~/.ssh/shmsoft_hadoop.pem ubuntu@sh$i $1done

For example:

run_on_cluster.sh 'ifconfig | grep cast'

Result of running ifconfig

inet addr:10.220.141.227  Bcast:10.220.141.255  inet addr:10.95.31.140  Bcast:10.95.31.255  inet addr:10.220.214.15  Bcast:10.220.215.255  inet addr:10.94.245.56  Bcast:10.94.245.255  inet addr:10.127.17.143  Bcast:10.127.17.255  inet addr:10.125.79.225  Bcast:10.125.79.255

Important gotchas

sudo chkconfig hadoop-0.20-namenode off

repeat for each installed service

Important gotchas - 2

On EC2 in /etc/hosts you have

# Added by cloud-init127.0.1.1       domU-12-31-38-04-AA-53.compute-1.internal domU-12-31-38-04-AA-53

Instead, do 127.0.0.1# Added by me - the developer127.0.0.1       domU-12-31-38-04-AA-53.compute-1.internal domU-12-31-38-04-AA-53

# !!! for remote access, use internal ip:10.220.169.157  domU-12-31-38-04-AA-53.compute-1.internal domU-12-31-38-04-AA-53

Now start Hadoop services

On each node 

for service in /etc/init.d/hadoop-0.20-*; do sudo $service start; done

Do it with script

run_my_cluster.sh ''

Verify HDFS and MR

Verify!

hadoop fs -ls /copy tocopy fromrun MR better yet...

Start HBase

start-hbase.sh

#!/bin/shsudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hbase-master startsudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-zookeeper-server  startsudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hbase-regionserver start

w3m http://localhost:60010

Stop HBase

1. Do compaction

2. stop-hbase.sh

#!/bin/shsudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hbase-master stopsleep 5sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-zookeeper-server  stopsudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hbase-regionserver stop
