Hadoop, mail # user - Re: JAVA_HOME is not set

JAVA_HOME is not set

Ying Huang 2012-07-05, 16:42

Hello,
   I am installing hadoop according to this page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/BIGTOP/how-to-install-hadoop-distribution-from-bigtop.html
   I think I have successfully installed hadoop on my Ubuntu 12.04 x64.
   Then I go to step Running Hadoop, bellowing is my operation step,
why it prompts that my JAVA_HOME is not set?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
root@ubuntu32:/usr/lib/hadoop# export
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java
root@ubuntu32:/usr/lib/hadoop# sudo -u hdfs hadoop namenode -format
Error: JAVA_HOME is not set.
root@ubuntu32:/usr/lib/hadoop# ls $JAVA_HOME -al
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5588 May 2 20:14
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java
root@ubuntu32:/usr/lib/hadoop#

JAVA_HOME is set for user root but not for user hdfs. Make sure JAVA_HOME is set for user hdfs and then try the command again.

I think you should set JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-**openjdk-i386/jre

JAVA_HOME is the base location of java, where it can find the java
executable $JAVA_HOME/bin/java

I don't think OpenJDK is supported. There were a lot of problems with it.

But feel free to give it a try, if you run into JVM crashes. Use Oracle(Sun) JDK 6. (NOT 7)
Harsh had a good post before regarding the JVM(s).

Did you configure JAVA_HOME in file hadoop-env.sh?

Re: JAVA_HOME is not set

Ying Huang 2012-07-05, 17:27

Yes, you point out the root cause, after configuration,
this command
sudo -u hdfs hadoop namenode -format
works.
Thank you.
