What is the method of installing and configuring a Hadoop cluster?

The typical steps for installing and configuring a Hadoop cluster include the following:

1. To run Hadoop, Java installation is necessary. Start by installing the Java Development Kit (JDK), which can be downloaded from the Oracle website and installed following the official documentation.
2. Download Hadoop: Download the latest stable version of the Hadoop compressed file from the official Apache Hadoop website.
3. Decompress Hadoop: Unzip the downloaded Hadoop compressed file to the specified directory.
4. Set up Hadoop environment variables: Add the path where the Hadoop binary files are located to the system’s PATH environment variable, so that the ‘hadoop’ command can be used from any location.
5. Setting up a Hadoop cluster involves editing various configuration files including core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml, mapred-site.xml, and yarn-site.xml. Each file is used to configure different aspects of Hadoop such as core parameters, HDFS parameters, MapReduce parameters, and YARN parameters.
6. Configure master and slave nodes: Specify the IP addresses or hostnames of the master and slave nodes in the configuration file.
7. Format HDFS: Run the command hdfs namenode -format on the master node to format the HDFS file system.
8. Start the Hadoop cluster: run the start-all.sh script on the master node to start the Hadoop cluster.
9. Verify the installation of the Hadoop cluster by accessing the web interface of the Hadoop main node through a browser, such as http://
   :50070 and http://

   :8088. This will confirm the installation and configuration of the Hadoop cluster.

The provided Hadoop cluster installation configuration is a common method, but the specific installation steps may vary depending on the actual situation.
