First of all, THESE ARE IMPORTANT FOR INDRODUCTION

*Ubuntu server 14.04
*VM in VirtualBox with 1GB RAM
*SWAP SPACE :   SELECT  more than 2 GB

Moreover, it is advisable not to run Hadoop services through a general-purpose user, so the next step consists in adding a group hadoop and a user hadoop-user belonging to that group

Installing Java
The mentioned tutorials suggest a potentially unsafe procedure in order to install the jdk through apt-get,

[crayon-69661ce101d17045317008/]
Finally, a couple of environment variables should be set up so that the java executables are in $PATH and hadoop knows where java has been installed: this is easily accomplished adding

at the end of /etc/profile  <<< We need to edit that to set automatically JAVA PATH

Setup SSH

All communications with Hadoop are encrypted via SSH, thus the corresponding server should be installed:
[crayon-69661ce101d1e611562995/]
 

and the hadoop-user must be associated to a key pair and subsequently granting its access to the local machine:

Now hadoop-user should be able to access via ssh to localhost without ( WE SET THE PASS = “null”)providing a password:

Disable IPV6

Hadoop and IPV6 do not agree on the meaning of 0.0.0.0 address,

Hadoop

Download and install Hadoop

Download hadoop-2.4.0.tar.gz, unpack it and move the results in /usr/local, adding a symlink using the more friendly name hadoop and changing ownership of the directory contents to the hadoop-user user:
[crayon-69661ce101d29658858317/]

Setup the dedicated user environment
Switch to the hadoop-user user and add the following lines at the end of ~/.bashrc:

[crayon-69661ce101d2c922286794/]
To have the new environment variables in place,

1- reload .bashrc   through “source .bashrc"

2- then open /usr/local/hadoop/etc/hadoop/hadoop-env.sh ,

3- uncomment the line setting JAVA_HOME and set its value to the jdk directory:

Configure Hadoop

Before being able to actually use the hadoop file system it is necessary to modify some configuration files inside /usr/local/hadoop/etc/hadoop
All such files follow the an XML format, and the updates should concern the top-level node configuration
(likely empty after the hadoop installation). Specifically:

• in yarn-site.xml :
  [crayon-69661ce101d30727420331/]

• look in core-site.xml:
  [crayon-69661ce101d33339488475/]

• look in mapred-site.xml
  [crayon-69661ce101d35070277079/]

• nano hdfs-site.xml:
