Hi,

We want to use Hadoop and Hive to store and analyze some Web Servers' Log files. The servers are running on windows platform. As mentioned about Hadoop, it is only supported for development on windows. I wanted to know is there a way that we can run the Hadoop server(namenode server) and cluster nodes on  Linux, and have an interface using which we can send files and run analysis queries from the WebServer's windows environment.
I would really appreciate if you could point me to a right direction.
Regards,
Aditya Singh

Hi Aditya
         Definitely you can do it. As a very basic solution you can ftp the
contents to LFS(LOCAL/Linux File System ) and they do a copyFromLocal into
HDFS. Create a hive table with appropriate regex support and load the data
in. Hive has classes that effectively support parsing and loading of Apache
log files into hive tables.
For the entite data transfer,you just need to write a shell script for the
same. Log analysis won't be real time right? So you can schedule the job
with some scheduler libe a cron or to be used  in conjuction with hadoop
jobs you can use some workflow management within hadoop eco ecosystem.

Hi Aditya,
    You may want to investigate about using Flume...that is designed to
collect unstructured data from disparate sources and store them in HDFS (or
directly into HIVE tables). I do not know if Flume provides interoperability
with Window's systems (maybe you hack it and make it work with Cygwin...).
