Hi,

I have been having  lot of problems installing  hadoop on my system and I
finally gave up.I was just wondering if I could SSH to a remote hadoop
cluster that is open for developers to practice on ? Is there anything
provided  by cloudera ? Please let me know.

Thanks in Advance.

Of course, you can ssh to remote hadoop cluster.

And also you can edit and compile your code outside cluster, and then submit
your jar to cluster to execute your map reduce jobs.

Thanks  Jeff !! But , is there a  public or open  cluster I could register
and get acess to ?
or any training cluster thats already setup which i could use?

You could try the Amazon Elastic MapReduce
(http://aws.amazon.com/elasticmapreduce/)
This is Hadoop, and costs less than US$1 per hour for a small cluster
- you only pay for what you use.

Alternatively you could use the Amazon EC2 instances and run your own
cluster on their hardware also for similar $.  Cloudera provide good
Amazon images to do this.

Some universities I think run clusters for teaching purposes so you
might consider investigating them.

I'm afraid though, that you might need to start work on your own
system again.  Ask questions to the list - be as specific and give as
much info as you can (post stack traces, and describe the hardware) -
and we will try and help as much as we can.  It should not be too hard
to get you running in a day or so.  Start by getting it running on a
single machine, then a pseudo distribution and then if you have more
machines, set up a cluster.  Don't think you need a big cluster to
'practice on'.  I expect we all run on our laptops and small data
before running on a cluster.

Cheers,
Tim

Hey Prabhu,

You may find the virtual machine available at
http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop-training-virtual-machine to be of some use.

Jeff

Just for experimental purpose you can setup 2 virtual machine on same host..
All you need to do it to install linux (Fed/Ubu) on 1 virtual machine using
Vmware/Xen/Virtualbox and configure hadoop either using Cloudera's Hadoop or
Apache Hadoop. Once its configured make your Current system on which you are
running this machine as Master and make this virtual machine its slave. Now
all you need to do is to copy-paste same virtual machine and add it to
vmware. Depending on your RAM / CPU Capacity you can work on any number of
machines. I believe it will solve your purpose.

If you are in college, I think its a positive thing for you. Since hadoop
does not require any high configuration servers, you can setup hadoop in
labs. All you need is a decent configuration PC with a linux :)
