Where is Hadoop Home directory?

Post by becky » Mon Jul 01, 2013 8:01 pm

Hey guys,

I've installed Cloudera's Hadoop and I I am trying to set up the Vertica connector. The first thing the documentation says I need to do is find the Hadoop home directory. If I echo $HADOOP_HOME I do not get any results ... The Vertica doc says I can use the command hadoop version to find the home directory. Can someone please take a look at the output below and help me figure outthe hadoop home directory? Thanks alot!

Code: Select all

[root@hadoop01]# hadoop version
Hadoop 2.0.0-cdh4.3.0
Subversion file:///data/1/jenkins/workspace/generic-package-rhel64-6-0/topdir/BUILD/hadoop-2.0.0-cdh4.3.0/src/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common -r 48a9315b342ca16de92fcc5be95ae3650629155a

[root@hadoop01]#

Hi Becky,

From the output in your post it looks like the Hadoop home is:

/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-4.3.0-1.cdh4.3.0.p0.22/lib/hadoop

You can also run the hadoop classpath command to list the paths of all the jar files used by Hadoop. From the output you should be able to find the home there too.

Thanks!

Cool thanks Jim! I guess Cloudera doesn't follow the standard Hadoop directory topology :cry:
