How to install Cloudera QuickStart VM on VMware - Part1?

Start using Hadoop with Cloudera's QuickStart VMs. The QuickStart VMs contain a single-node Apache Hadoop cluster, complete with example data, queries, scripts.

These virtual machines make it easy to get started with CDH (Cloudera’s 100% open source Hadoop platform that includes Impala, Search, Spark, and more) and Cloudera Manager.

 They come complete with everything you need to learn Hadoop.The VMs run CentOS 6.4 and are available for VMware, VirtualBox, and KVM. 

Requirements:-

a) System Requirement:-

  • These are a 64-bit VMs. They requires a 64-bit host OS and a virtualization product that can support a 64-bit guest OS.
  •  To use a VMware VM, you must use a player compatible with WorkStation 8.x or higher: Player 4.x or higher, ESXi 5.x or higher, or Fusion 4.x or higher. Older versions of WorkStation can be used to create a new VM using the same virtual disk (VMDK file), but some features in VMware Tools won't be available.
  • Require 4GB RAM for Virtual Machine.

b) Software Requirement:- 

  • Download and install latest version of VMware Player for Windows 64-bit operating systems if you are using Windows otherwise download VMware Player for Linux 64-bit Linux from link.
  • Download the latest version of Cloudera QuickStart VM with CDH 5.3 for VMware  Or Download Cloudera QuickStart VM for Virtual Box.
  • You will also need 7-zip archive tool to extract files from downloaded Cloudera file, you can download from link.


 For this demo, I have used VMware version of Cloudera Quickstart VM with CDH 5.3 for running on Windows 7 64 bit host OS.

1. What is Big Data ?

Big data is the term for a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications. The challenges include capture, curation, storage, search, sharing, transfer, analysis, and visualization. Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data — so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone. According to IBM, 80% of data captured today is unstructured, from sensors used to gather climate information, posts to social media sites, digital pictures and videos, purchase transaction records, and cell phone GPS signals, to name a few. All of this unstructured data is Big Data. When dealing with larger data sets, organizations face difficulties in being able to create, manipulate, and manage big data. Big data is particularly a problem in business analytics because standard tools and procedures are no...

Different flavours of Hadoop?

There are so many flavors of Hadoop available as Cloudera, Hortonworks etc. The nice thing is that you can download and try a free version. The base Apache distribution is good when you are just learning and getting started.   The real advantage of the bundled distributions such as Cloudera and Hortonworks is that you don't have to think about version x of Hive will work with Hadoop version y and version z of Hbase. They also come with better tools for deployment and management in an operational environment for example Cloudera comes with Cloudera Manager which provide you the web GUI for everything. There are three modes to start a Hadoop cluster. 1.       Local (Standalone) Mode 2.       Pseudo-Distributed Mode 3.       Fully-Distributed Mode In next post will start with Cloudera Quickstart VM and will see how to install in Virtual Machine.
