Multi Node Cluster in Hadoop 2.x

Где взять займ на карту не получив отказ.

From our previous blog in  Hadoop Tutorial Series, we learnt how to setup a Hadoop Single Node Cluster. Now, I will show how to set up a Hadoop Multi Node Cluster. A Multi Node Cluster in Hadoop contains two or more DataNodes in a distributed Hadoop environment. This is practically used in organizations to store and analyze their Petabytes and Exabytes of data. Learning to set up a multi node cluster gears you closer to your much needed Hadoop certification.

Here, we are taking two machines – master and slave. On both the machines, a Datanode will be running.

Let us start with the setup of Multi Node Cluster in Hadoop.

Prerequisites

  • Cent OS 6.5
  • Hadoop-2.7.3
  • JAVA 8
  • SSH

Setup of Multi Node Cluster in Hadoop

We have two machines (master and slave) with IP:

Master IP: 192.168.56.102

Slave IP: 192.168.56.103

STEP 1: Check the IP address of all machines.

Command: ip addr show (you can use the ifconfig command as well)

Master IP Address - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

Slave IP Address - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 2: Disable the firewall restrictions.

Command: service iptables stop

Command: sudo chkconfig iptables off

Resolve Firewall Issues - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 3: Open hosts file to add master and data node with their respective IP addresses.

Command: sudo nano /etc/hosts

Same properties will be displayed in the master and slave hosts files.

Master's hosts file cofiguration - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 4: Restart the sshd service.

Command: service sshd restart

ssh Service Restart - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

 

STEP 5: Create the SSH Key in the master node. (Press enter button when it asks you to enter a filename to save the key).

Command: ssh-keygen -t rsa -P “”

Generating ssh key on master node - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 6: Copy the generated ssh key to master node’s authorized keys.

Command: cat $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys

ssh Authorizing localhost - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 7: Copy the master node’s ssh key to slave’s authorized keys.

Command: ssh-copy-id -i $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub edureka@slave

Copy master node key to slave - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 8: Click here to download the Java 8 Package. Save this file in your home directory.

STEP 9: Extract the Java Tar File on all nodes.

Command: tar -xvf jdk-8u101-linux-i586.tar.gz

Extract java - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 10: Download the Hadoop 2.7.3 Package on all nodes.

Command: wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/hadoop/core/hadoop-2.7.3/hadoop-2.7.3.tar.gz

Download Hadoop tar - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

 

 

STEP 11: Extract the Hadoop tar File on all nodes.

Command: tar -xvf hadoop-2.7.3.tar.gz

Extract Hadoop tar file - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 12: Add the Hadoop and Java paths in the bash file (.bashrc) on all nodes.

Open. bashrc file. Now, add Hadoop and Java Path as shown below:

Command:  sudo gedit .bashrc

Open bashrc - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

bash file - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

Then, save the bash file and close it.

For applying all these changes to the current Terminal, execute the source command.

Command: source .bashrc

Source bash - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

To make sure that Java and Hadoop have been properly installed on your system and can be accessed through the Terminal, execute the java -version and hadoop version commands.

Command: java -version

java version - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

Command: hadoop version

hadoop version - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

Now edit the configuration files in hadoop-2.7.3/etc/hadoop directory.

STEP 13: Create masters file and edit as follows in both master and slave machines as below:

Command: sudo gedit masters

masters - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 14: Edit slaves file in master machine as follows:

Command: sudo gedit /home/edureka/hadoop-2.7.3/etc/hadoop/slaves

master node slaves file - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 15: Edit slaves file in slave machine as follows:

Command: sudo gedit /home/edureka/hadoop-2.7.3/etc/hadoop/slaves

slave node slaves file - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 16: Edit core-site.xml on both master and slave machines as follows:

Command: sudo gedit /home/edureka/hadoop-2.7.3/etc/hadoop/core-site.xml

open core-site - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

 

STEP 7: Edit hdfs-site.xml on master as follows:
Command: sudo gedit /home/edureka/hadoop-2.7.3/etc/hadoop/hdfs-site.xml

open hdfs-site Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

 

STEP 18: Edit hdfs-site.xml on slave machine as follows:

Command: sudo gedit /home/edureka/hadoop-2.7.3/etc/hadoop/hdfs-site.xml

STEP 19: Copy mapred-site from the template in configuration folder and the edit mapred-site.xml on both master and slave machines as follows:

Command: cp mapred-site.xml.template mapred-site.xml

Command: sudo gedit /home/edureka/hadoop-2.7.3/etc/hadoop/mapred-site.xml

copy mapred-site from template - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

open yarn-site - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 21: Format the namenode (Only on master machine).

Command: hadoop namenode -format

Namenode format - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 22: Start all daemons (Only on master machine).

Command: ./sbin/start-all.sh

start-all daemon - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

STEP 23: Check all the daemons running on both master and slave machines.

Command: jps

On master

jps - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

On slave

jps slave - Hadoop Multi Node Cluster - Edureka

 

At last, open the browser and go to master:50070/dfshealth.html on your master machine, this will give you the NameNode interface. Scroll down and see for the number of live nodes, if its 2, you have successfully setup a multi node Hadoop cluster. In case, it’s not 2, you might have missed out any of the steps which I have mentioned above. But no need to worry, you can go back and verify all the configurations again to find the issues and then correct them.

  • Permission denied (publickey,password).
    I’m getting this error again and again. I don’t know where to get that password for slave from.

  • when jps command is typed then i cant see other connections.
    it only shows jps.
    i also cant run this command given below
    cp mapred-site.xml.template mapred-site.xml.

    plz help me out..

  • Hai everyone,i have windows 10 pro and i installed hadoop but i getting this error “Error: JAVA_HOME is incorrectly set.
    Please update E:hadoop-2.8.1etchadoophadoop-env.cmd
    ‘-Xmx512m’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file”
    can anyone plz help me.

  • Hello,

    I have four nodes, all setting is according to the tutorial as mentioned above. But, My master node is working but slave nodes are not running. error is given below:

    node-two: datanode running as process 2387. Stop it first.
    node-three: datanode running as process 2387. Stop it first.
    node-four: datanode running as process 2387. Stop it first.

    Kindly anybody help me out. Thanks in Advance

  • Thanks Mr. Sinha, I have setup a single node cluster. But each time i try to run my jar file, I get “Waiting, RM needs to allocate resource to AM”, then the job hangs and cant move further. Please help

      • I reinstalled the hadoop. I was using Hadoop-2.7.4 and later
        reinstalled Hadoop-2.8.2. I also changed the installation path to
        reflect the new version of hadoop i.e.: changed :
        “/usr/local/hadoop/hadoop-2.7.4/etc/hadoop” to this “/usr/local/hadoop/hadoop-2.8.2/etc/hadoop” , to avoid any conflict. This solves the problem for me.

        • Hey Abbey! That is indeed what you need to do fix the resource allocation problem. Let us know if you have any other query.

          • @EdurekaSupport:disqus , Hi I have an issue when trying to run a mapreduce Jar file using HIPI and Opencv. How do I resolve this. The error message is as follows:
            /MyWorkSpace/MapReduceWorkSpace$ hadoop jar ImageCountProjJob2.jar FaceCount TestImage.hib FacecountoutputX
            Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: hipi/imagebundle/mapreduce/ImageBundleInputFormat
            at FaceCount.run(FaceCount.java:155)
            at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner.run(ToolRunner.java:76)
            at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner.run(ToolRunner.java:90)
            at FaceCount.main(FaceCount.java:186)

  • Thanks Mr. Sinha. Very useful tutorial. My issue is resolved. Need to set permissions 644 and 700 respectively on .ssh and authorized_keys folder.

    Also went through haddop.apache.org -> hadoop cluster setup to change “dfs.permissions” -> “dfs.permissions.enabled” as true
