HADOOP_CLASSPATH issue while running jar

Question

I have created an map-red job which uses the apache-commons-cli library shipped with the hadoop under $HADOOP_HOME/lib/.

Now, if I create a jar and then try to run my job using

./hadoop -jar myjob.jar

I get the below exception:

Warning: $HADOOP_HOME is deprecated.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/CommandLineParser

I can see that common-cli-xxx.jar is present in my $HADOOP_HOME/lib dir. I don't know what wrong I am doing here.

Answer 1

Type just hadoop in your terminal if it does not show list of all the hadoop command, you can check whether

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

lines are added to your .bashrc
