    nano /usr/local/hadoop/conf/hadoop-env.sh

    Append:

    export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

    Ctrl+x to Save & Exit 🙂

  7. Configuration for Pseudo-Distributed mode

    nano /usr/local/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml

    The Content Should Look Like:

     
 
 
 
 hadoop.tmp.dir
 /usr/local/hadoop/tmp
 
 
 fs.default.name
 hdfs://localhost:8020

    Next:

    nano /usr/local/hadoop/conf/hdfs-site.xml

    The Content Should Look Like:

     
 
 
 
 dfs.replication
 1
 
 
 
 dfs.name.dir
 /usr/local/hadoop/cache/hadoop/dfs/name

    Last:

    nano /usr/local/hadoop/conf/mapred-site.xml

    The Content Should Look Like:

     
 
 
 
 mapred.job.tracker
 localhost:8021

  8. SetUp Local Path & Environment

    exit
    cd $HOME
    nano .profile

    Inserts:

    HADOOP_HOME=/usr/local/hadoop
export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin:$HADOOP_HOME/sbin

    The JAVA_HOME is Set Following Oracle Java JDK6+ Installation Version…

    Then Load New Setup:

    source $HOME/.profile
