  • For all SLES systems:
    $ sudo rpm --import http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/sles/11/x86_64/cdh/RPM-GPG-KEY-cloudera
    
  • For Ubuntu Precise systems:
    $ curl -s http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cdh/archive.key
    | sudo apt-key add -
  • For Debian Wheezy systems:
    $ curl -s http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/debian/wheezy/amd64/cdh/archive.key
    | sudo apt-key add -

This key enables you to verify that you are downloading genuine packages.

Install CDH 5 with YARN

  Note:

Skip this step if you intend to use only MRv1. Directions for installing MRv1 are in Step 3.

To install CDH 5 with YARN:

  Note:

If you decide to configure HA for the NameNode, do not install hadoop-hdfs-secondarynamenode. After completing the HA software configuration, follow the installation instructions under Deploying HDFS High Availability.

  1. Install and deploy ZooKeeper.
      Important:

    Cloudera recommends that you install (or update) and start a ZooKeeper cluster before proceeding. This is a requirement if you are deploying high availability (HA) for the NameNode.

    Follow instructions under ZooKeeper Installation.

  2. Install each type of daemon package on the appropriate systems(s), as follows.

    Where to install

    Install commands

    Resource Manager host (analogous to MRv1 JobTracker) running:

     

    Red Hat/CentOS compatible

    sudo yum clean all; sudo yum install hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager

    SLES

    sudo zypper clean --all; sudo zypper install hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager

    Ubuntu or Debian

    sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager

    NameNode host running:

     

    Red Hat/CentOS compatible

    sudo yum clean all; sudo yum install hadoop-hdfs-namenode

    SLES

    sudo zypper clean --all; sudo zypper install hadoop-hdfs-namenode

    Ubuntu or Debian

    sudo apt-get install hadoop-hdfs-namenode

    Secondary NameNode host (if used) running:

     

    Red Hat/CentOS compatible

    sudo yum clean all; sudo yum install hadoop-hdfs-secondarynamenode

    SLES

    sudo zypper clean --all; sudo zypper install hadoop-hdfs-secondarynamenode

    Ubuntu or Debian

    sudo apt-get install hadoop-hdfs-secondarynamenode

    All cluster hosts except the Resource Manager running:

     

    Red Hat/CentOS compatible

    sudo yum clean all; sudo yum install hadoop-yarn-nodemanager hadoop-hdfs-datanode hadoop-mapreduce

    SLES

    sudo zypper clean --all; sudo zypper install hadoop-yarn-nodemanager hadoop-hdfs-datanode hadoop-mapreduce

    Ubuntu or Debian

    sudo apt-get install hadoop-yarn-nodemanager hadoop-hdfs-datanode hadoop-mapreduce

    One host in the cluster running:

     

    Red Hat/CentOS compatible

    sudo yum clean all; sudo yum install hadoop-mapreduce-historyserver hadoop-yarn-proxyserver

    SLES

    sudo zypper clean --all; sudo zypper install hadoop-mapreduce-historyserver hadoop-yarn-proxyserver

    Ubuntu or Debian

    sudo apt-get install hadoop-mapreduce-historyserver hadoop-yarn-proxyserver

    All client hosts running:

     

    Red Hat/CentOS compatible

    sudo yum clean all; sudo yum install hadoop-client

    SLES

    sudo zypper clean --all; sudo zypper install hadoop-client

    Ubuntu or Debian

    sudo apt-get install hadoop-client

  Note:

The hadoop-yarn and hadoop-hdfs packages are installed on each system automatically as dependencies of the other packages.

Install CDH 5 with MRv1

  Note:

If you are also installing YARN, you can skip any packages you have already installed in Install CDH 5 with YARN.

Skip this step and go to Install CDH 5 with YARN if you intend to use only YARN.

  Important:

Before proceeding, you need to decide:

  1. Whether to configure High Availability (HA) for the NameNode and/or JobTracker; see the CDH 5 High Availability Guide for more information and instructions.
  2. Where to deploy the NameNode, Secondary NameNode, and JobTracker daemons. As a general rule:
    • The NameNode and JobTracker run on the same "master" host unless the cluster is large (more than a few tens of nodes), and the master host (or hosts) should not run the Secondary NameNode (if used), DataNode or TaskTracker services.
    • In a large cluster, it is especially important that the Secondary NameNode (if used) runs on a separate machine from the NameNode.
    • Each node in the cluster except the master host(s) should run the DataNode and TaskTracker services.

If you decide to configure HA for the NameNode, do not install hadoop-hdfs-secondarynamenode. After completing the HA software configuration, follow the installation instructions under Deploying HDFS High Availability.

  1. Install and deploy ZooKeeper.
      Important:

    Cloudera recommends that you install (or update) and start a ZooKeeper cluster before proceeding. This is a requirement if you are deploying high availability (HA) for the NameNode or JobTracker.

    Follow instructions under ZooKeeper Installation.

  2. Install each type of daemon package on the appropriate systems(s), as follows.

    Where to install

    Install commands

    JobTracker host running:

     

    Red Hat/CentOS compatible

    All client hosts running:

     

    Red Hat/CentOS compatible

    sudo yum clean all; sudo yum install hadoop-client

    SLES

    sudo zypper clean --all; sudo zypper install hadoop-client

    Ubuntu or Debian

    sudo apt-get install hadoop-client

(Optional) Install LZO

If you decide to install LZO ( Lempel–Ziv–Oberhumer compression), proceed as follows.
  Note:
If you are upgrading to a new version of LZO, rather than installing it for the first time, you must first remove the old version; for example, on a RHEL system:
yum remove hadoop-lzo
  1. Add the repository on each node in the cluster.
    Follow the instructions for your OS version:

    For OS Version

    Do this

    Red Hat/CentOS/Oracle 5

    Navigate to this link and save the file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

    Red Hat/CentOS 6

    Navigate to this link and save the file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

    SLES

    1. Run the following command:
       $ sudo zypper addrepo -f
      http://archive.cloudera.com/gplextras5/sles/11/x86_64/gplextras/
      cloudera-gplextras5.repo
    2. Update your system package index by running:
       $ sudo zypper refresh

    Ubuntu or Debian

    Navigate to this link and save the file as /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gplextras.list.
      Important: Make sure you do not let the file name default to cloudera.list, as that will overwrite your existing cloudera.list.
  2. Install the package on each node as follows:

    For OS version

    Install commands

    Red Hat/CentOS compatible

    sudo yum install hadoop-lzo

    SLES

    sudo zypper install hadoop-lzo

    Ubuntu or Debian

    sudo apt-get install hadoop-lzo
  3. Continue with installing and deploying CDH. As part of the deployment, you will need to do some additional configuration for LZO, as shown under Configuring LZO .
      Important: Make sure you do this configuration after you have copied the default configuration files to a custom location and set alternatives to point to it.
