Create Symlinks to Hadoop Directories for the Mac Client

Run Hadoop commands using the hadoop2 keywords.

About this task

Use the following steps to create hadoop2 symlinks in the usr/local/bin directory for a Data Fabric client on Mac OS X:

Procedure

  1. To create the symlinks, run the following commands as root:
    ln -s /opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-2.x.x/bin/hadoop /usr/local/bin/hadoop2
    ln -s /opt/mapr/bin/hadoop /usr/local/bin/hadoop
    NOTE In the preceding command, replace hadoop-2.x.x with the actual Hadoop 2 version that you installed.
  2. Add the Hadoop binaries to the PATH environment variable. For example, add the following text to the user login shell script such as ~/.bashrc:
    export PATH=/opt/mapr/bin:/opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-2.x.x/bin:/opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-0.20.2/bin:${PATH}
    NOTE In the preceding text, replace hadoop-2.x.x with the actual Hadoop 2 version that you installed.

Results

Now, you can run hadoop commands by using the hadoop1 and hadoop2 keywords.
