Chad Metcalf replied on November 12, 2009 18:24 to the problem "Empty packages and others not up to date." in Cloudera:

Jaunty wasn't released when CDH1 was released. There are no Jaunty packages for CDH1. These will not be built. You can use the 18.3 release in testing which is pretty stable by this point.

Desktop only works with 0.20.1 which is in the testing repositories.

Karmic support will be coming in the future. In the meanwhile you can load jaunty packages on Karmic and they will work.

A comment on the idea "Support for HBase" in Cloudera:

There are not currently any deb packages. The HBase team is working on debian packaging but there is no date for when this work will be complete. – Chad Metcalf, on November 01, 2009 23:28

A comment on the idea "Support for HBase" in Cloudera:

These are still in the contrib repo:

Chad Metcalf replied on October 27, 2009 01:02 to the question "cloudera-desktop missing from debian repo" in Cloudera:

This works for me. What version of debian or Ubuntu are you running and have you run an apt-get update recently?

Chad

Chad Metcalf replied on October 22, 2009 19:22 to the problem "Problem installing HBase from cloudera-contrib repo" in Cloudera:

It looks like the hbase-native package overlaps with the base package. This is a packaging error. We will notify the HBase team (it's a "contrib" package) and work with them to get a fix into the next release cycle.

For now, since the HBase package apparently includes the native libraries, the solution is to simply not install the hbase-native package.

Chad Metcalf replied on October 13, 2009 20:33 to the idea "Suse support?" in Cloudera:

To echo Christophe's comments above if you are interested in Suse support chime in. We currently only build for the redhat'ish (centos, rhel, fedora) and debian'ish (Ubuntu - intrepid, jaunty, etc, lenny).

In the meanwhile, the tarballs are available at http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh/testing/

Cheers
Chad

A comment on the idea "Suse support?" in Cloudera:

Cloudera Desktop is available in RPMs. However, these are for Centos/RHEL/Fedora distributions. We currently do not support Suse. – Chad Metcalf, on October 13, 2009 20:30

Chad Metcalf replied on October 13, 2009 20:26 to the question "PRM version for Cloudera Desktop?" in Cloudera:

The -dev packages can sometimes be found in the full packages. For example running on Mac OS X you would need to install libxslt, libxml2, python2.5 and the Xcode tools for gcc.

Unfortunately, we just don't have the bandwidth to support all the various flavors of Linux.

If you can't use Centos/RHEL/Fedora or one of the supported Debians, I would recommend trying the VM.

Chad Metcalf replied on October 13, 2009 18:49 to the problem "Unable to setup your configuration RPMs: [Errno 28] No space left on device" in Cloudera:

We've fixed this issue again. Hopefully for the last time.

Chad Metcalf replied on October 01, 2009 20:00 to the question "Hive with Hadoop 0.21 (CDH2, Sep 30)" in Cloudera:

CDH doesn't have Hadoop 0.21 it has 0.20.1.

That said:

yum install hadoop-hive
or
apt-get install hadoop-hive

$ hive

Its configured for you to work out of the box but you can tailor your configuration by editing the files in /etc/hive

Youngwoo,

You'll find new rpms in our repos which fix this problem.

hadoop-pig-0.4.99.0+7-1

Chad Metcalf replied on September 25, 2009 20:59 to the question "Cloudera amazon ec2 support for hadoop 0.20" in Cloudera:

Sujit

We don't bake ec2 ami's with hadoop on them. We use stock Ubuntu/Centos ami's with Java installed and then at boot time install the packages from our yum or apt repositories.

You can find more information about those here:

http://archive.cloudera.com

There are builds for 0.18.3 and 0.20.1 there.

Chad Metcalf replied on September 18, 2009 15:21 to the question "official debian packages" in Cloudera:

We're working on this. Its slightly more complicated because hadoop default home for things is not up to Debian standard and hadoop ships with lots of jars that in Debianland should be their own packages. So we are working on figuring out how to make it work.

Its on the roadmap.

Cheers
Chad

Chad Metcalf replied on September 15, 2009 23:02 to the question "Yum configuration???" in Cloudera:

Leif,

The consensus across the board (Apache, Yahoo, and us) is that Hadoop should be run with Sun's JDK specifically 1.6 update 14. This is what we package for. That said users that are comfortable with the problems that might arise can run OpenJDK. But the average out of the box install uses Sun for this reason.

Cheers
Chad

Chad Metcalf replied on September 04, 2009 20:31 to the question "hive 0.4? 0.3 has some serious issues...." in Cloudera:

We are working on rpm/debs for the new hive. We're waiting for Hive to cut its official 0.4 before we distribute. Expect this should happen soon.
