Getting error while running map reduce jobs in R

Question

I just started integrating RHadoop. It is integrated R-studio server with Hadoop, but I am getting error while running map-reduce jobs. when I run following Line of code.

library(rmr2)
a <- to.dfs(seq(from=1, to=500, by=3), output="/user/hduser/num")
*b <- mapreduce(input=a, map=function(k,v){keyval(v,v*v)})*

I searched a lot for solving this problem, but solution not found yet. As I am new to RHadoop I am stucked with this problem. Can, Anyone please help me to resolve this problem, I will be very much thankful.

Answer 1

The error is caused as the HADOOP_STREAMING environment variable is not set in your code. You should specify the full path along with the jar file name. The below R code seems to work fine for me.

R Code (I'm using hadoop 2.4.0 over Ubuntu)

Sys.setenv("HADOOP_CMD"="/usr/local/hadoop/bin/hadoop")
Sys.setenv("HADOOP_STREAMING"="/usr/local/hadoop/share/hadoop/tools/lib/hadoop-streaming-2.4.0.jar")

library(rJava)
library(rhdfs)
# Initialise
hdfs.init()
library(rmr2)

a <- to.dfs(seq(from=1, to=500, by=3), output="/user/hduser/num")
b <- mapreduce(input=a, map=function(k,v){keyval(v,v*v)})

Hope this helps.
