Apache Hadoop 2.6: Pseudo Distribution Mode Setup

Question

I am setting up Apche Hadoop 2.6 for the Psuedo Distributed Operation by following the instructions provided in the link:

http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/SingleCluster.html

I am facing an issue after I execute the command: $ bin/hdfs dfs -put etc/hadoop input

The error message is: put:'input': No such file or directory

How to resolve this?

Also, I have edited the hadoop-env.sh with the statement: export HADOOP_PREFIX=/usr/local/hadoop , but cannot understand that why shell prints out the warning: /usr/local/hadoop/etc/hadoop/hadop-env.sh: line 32: export:='/usr/local/hadoop': not a valid identifier

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

I have fixed this problem.

I created the directory: $ bin/hdfs dfs -mkdir /user/root and the problem got solved, as I was logged in as the root in ubuntu. Earlier, I was giving wrong username, hence, facing the issue.
