Build, Install, Configure and Run Apache Hadoop 2.2.0 in Microsoft Windows OS

Good news for Hadoop developers who want to use Microsoft Windows OS for their development activities. Finally Apache Hadoop 2.2.0 release officially supports for running Hadoop on Microsoft Windows as well. But the bin distribution of Apache Hadoop 2.2.0 release does not contain some windows native components (like winutils.exe, hadoop.dll etc). As a result, if we try to run Hadoop in windows, we'll encounter ERROR util.Shell: Failed to locate the winutils binary in the hadoop binary path.

In this article, I'll describe how to build bin native distribution from source codes, install, configure and run Hadoop in Windows Platform.

Tools and Technologies used in this article :

Build Hadoop bin distribution for Windows

a. Download and install Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1.

b. Download and install Unix command-line tool Cygwin.

c. Download and install Maven 3.1.1.

d. Download Protocol Buffers 2.5.0 and extract to a folder (say c:\protobuf).

e. Add Environment Variables JAVA_HOME, M2_HOME and Platform if not added already.

Add Environment Variables:

Note :

Variable name Platform is case sensitive. And value will be either x64 or Win32 for building on a 64-bit or 32-bit system.
If JDK installation path contains any space then use Windows shortened name (say 'PROGRA~1' for 'Program Files') for the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Edit Path Variable to add bin directory of Cygwin (say C:\cygwin64\bin), bin directory of Maven (say C:\maven\bin) and installation path of Protocol Buffers (say c:\protobuf).

Edit Path Variable:

PATH Variable - Cygwin & Protocol Buffers

f. Download hadoop-2.2.0-src.tar.gz and extract to a folder having short path (say c:\hdfs) to avoid runtime problem due to maximum path length limitation in Windows.

g. Select Start --> All Programs --> Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1 and open Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt. Change directory to Hadoop source code folder (c:\hdfs). Execute mvn package with options -Pdist,native-win -DskipTests -Dtar to create Windows binary tar distribution.
Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1>cd c:\hdfs

Note: I have pasted only the starting few lines of huge logs generated by maven. This building step requires Internet connection as Maven will download all the required dependencies.

h. If everything goes well in the previous step, then native distribution hadoop-2.2.0.tar.gz will be created inside C:\hdfs\hadoop-dist\target\hadoop-2.2.0 directory.

Install Hadoop

a. Extract hadoop-2.2.0.tar.gz to a folder (say c:\hadoop).

b. Add Environment Variable HADOOP_HOME and edit Path Variable to add bin directory of HADOOP_HOME (say C:\hadoop\bin).

Add Environment Variables:

Environment Variables - HADOOP_HOME and Path

Configure Hadoop

Make following changes to configure Hadoop

The name of the default file system. A URI whose scheme and authority determine the FileSystem implementation. The uri's scheme determines the config property (fs.SCHEME.impl) naming the FileSystem implementation class. The uri's authority is used to determine the host, port, etc. for a filesystem.

dfs.replication:

Default block replication. The actual number of replications can be specified when the file is created. The default is used if replication is not specified in create time.

dfs.namenode.name.dir:

Determines where on the local filesystem the DFS name node should store the name table(fsimage). If this is a comma-delimited list of directories then the name table is replicated in all of the directories, for redundancy.

dfs.datanode.data.dir:

Determines where on the local filesystem an DFS data node should store its blocks. If this is a comma-delimited list of directories, then data will be stored in all named directories, typically on different devices. Directories that do not exist are ignored.
Note: Create namenode and datanode directory under c:/hadoop/data/dfs/.
