How to Set Up Hadoop Multi-Node Cluster on CentOS 7/6

By RahulJuly 22, 20134 Mins Read

The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models.

Our earlier article about hadoop was describing to how to setup single node cluster. This article will help you for step by step installing and configuring Hadoop Multi-Node Cluster on CentOS/RHEL 6.

Setup Details:

Hadoop Master: 192.168.1.15 ( hadoop-master )
Hadoop Slave : 192.168.1.16 ( hadoop-slave-1 )
Hadoop Slave : 192.168.1.17 ( hadoop-slave-2 )

Step 1. Install Java

Before installing hadoop make sure you have java installed on all nodes of hadoop cluster systems.

# java -version

java version "1.7.0_75"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_75-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.75-b04, mixed mode)

If you do not have java installed use following article to install Java.

Steps to install JAVA 7 on CentOS/RHEL 7/6/5

Step 2. Create User Account

Create a system user account on both master and slave systems to use for hadoop installation

# useradd hadoop
# passwd hadoop

Changing password for user hadoop.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

Step 3: Add FQDN Mapping

Edit /etc/hosts file on all master and slave servers and add following entries.

# vim /etc/hosts

192.168.1.15 hadoop-master
192.168.1.16 hadoop-slave-1
192.168.1.17 hadoop-slave-2

Step 4. Configuring Key Based Login

It’s required to set up hadoop user to ssh itself without password. Use following commands to configure auto login between all hadoop cluster servers..

# su - hadoop
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]
$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]
$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]
$ chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
$ exit

Step 5. Download and Extract Hadoop Source

Download hadoop latest available version from its official site at hadoop-master server only.

# mkdir /opt/hadoop
# cd /opt/hadoop/
# wget http://apache.mesi.com.ar/hadoop/common/hadoop-1.2.0/hadoop-1.2.0.tar.gz
# tar -xzf hadoop-1.2.0.tar.gz
# mv hadoop-1.2.0 hadoop
# chown -R hadoop /opt/hadoop
# cd /opt/hadoop/hadoop/

Step 6: Configure Hadoop

First edit hadoop configuration files and make following changes.
6.1 Edit core-site.xml

# vim conf/core-site.xml

#Add the following inside the configuration tag
<property>
    <name>fs.default.name</name>
    <value>hdfs://hadoop-master:9000/</value>
</property>
<property>
    <name>dfs.permissions</name>
    <value>false</value>
</property>

6.2 Edit hdfs-site.xml

# vim conf/hdfs-site.xml

# Add the following inside the configuration tag
<property>
	<name>dfs.data.dir</name>
	<value>/opt/hadoop/hadoop/dfs/name/data</value>
	<final>true</final>
</property>
<property>
	<name>dfs.name.dir</name>
	<value>/opt/hadoop/hadoop/dfs/name</value>
	<final>true</final>
</property>
<property>
	<name>dfs.replication</name>
	<value>1</value>
</property>

6.3 Edit mapred-site.xml

# vim conf/mapred-site.xml

# Add the following inside the configuration tag
<property>
        <name>mapred.job.tracker</name>
	<value>hadoop-master:9001</value>
</property>

6.4 Edit hadoop-env.sh

# vim conf/hadoop-env.sh

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.7.0_75
export HADOOP_OPTS=-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=/opt/hadoop/hadoop/conf

Set JAVA_HOME path as per your system configuration for java.

Step 7: Copy Hadoop Source to Slave Servers

After updating above configuration, we need to copy the source files to all slaves servers.

# su - hadoop
$ cd /opt/hadoop
$ scp -r hadoop hadoop-slave-1:/opt/hadoop
$ scp -r hadoop hadoop-slave-2:/opt/hadoop

Step 8: Configure Hadoop on Master Server Only

Go to hadoop source folder on hadoop-master and do following settings.

# su - hadoop
$ cd /opt/hadoop/hadoop

$ vim conf/masters

hadoop-master

$ vim conf/slaves

hadoop-slave-1
hadoop-slave-2

Format Name Node on Hadoop Master only

# su - hadoop
$ cd /opt/hadoop/hadoop
$ bin/hadoop namenode -format

$ bin/start-all.sh

Hi Mr Rahul,
Could you kindly clarify me can we share hadoop single node cluster to multiple users a (group of 60). If so could you kindly help me for the same

Hi Rahul, great article but I got stuck on step #7. I run the scp commands, the error I got was “Access denied”. I then decided to give hadoop user on each node an administrator/root privilege. I then run the command again just to receive the follwoing error message :
[[email protected] hadoop]$ scp -r hadoop hadoop-slave-2:/opt/hadoop
[email protected]’s password:
hadoop: No such file or directory
What do you I might have done wrong? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Rahul,
I have done whatever you have suggested and everything is going fine except last step to start hadoop in master after giving command start-all.sh getting error ” -bash : start-all.sh: command not found”. Even though i have given hadoop path in .bashrc file.

How do I recover the datanodes?
What I have already tried is to turn off/on again, -format command, -refreshNodes command, included all datanodes in the permitted hosts file, nothing helps.
There’s got to be a way restoring these datanodes and running them again..

Hi Rahul,
I had followed your steps for cluster installation and i successfully done it with namenode & one datanode, now i have some small doubts about how to load data into datanode directly from servers and how to get it into HDFS. plz help me with some suggestions.
And can i install hive on name node by following your HIVE article now
