Hadoop’s namenode and datanodes expose a bunch of TCP ports used by Hadoop’s daemons to communicate to each other or listen directly to users’ requests. These ports information are needed by both the Hadoop users and cluster administrators to write programs or configure firewalls/gateways accordingly. A post written by Philip Zeyliger from Cloudera’s blog summarizes the…
After [[hadoop-installation-tutorial|installing Hadoop]], we usually run some benchmark programs to test whether the system works well. In the post of the Hadoop install tutorial, we show a very simple to grep strings from a simple sets of files. In this post, we introduce the Sort for testing and benchmarking Hadoop. The Sort program is also…
This post lists pitfalls and lessons learning when configuring and tuning Hadoop. Hadoop with IPv6 Hadoo doesn’t support IPv6 currently (up to 0.20.2 and 0.21.0): Hadoop and IPv6. The performance of the cluster may suffer from turning IPv6 on in clusters: mail archive. One good practice is to disable IPv6 on servers in the Hadoop…
Hadoop is designed to run on [[hadoop-installation-tutorial|hundreds to thousands of computers]] inside cluster. However, Hadoop is configured to run things in a non-distributed mode as a single Java process by default. This is specially useful for debugging since distributed debugging is really a nightmare. This post introduces how to set up a standalone Hadoop environment….
