Hadoop cluster on cubieboard2

Stefan · August 18, 2015

Hi,

I would like to ask you guys if you have any experience in deploying a Hadoop Cluster on cubieboard2. I am using Debian jessie 4.1.4 and I am having a lot of trouble doing it.

The problem is with the ports, they are not opening when I start the hadoop daemons, so my question is:

Is it even possible to deploy hadoop on Debian Jessie 4.1.4? I have tried everything. Fresh install, deploy a configured hadoop cluster that was working on ubuntu 14.04 LTS, forcing the ports to open which took me to an unsolvable error( related to Protocol Buffers ), but the main problem is the ports not opening, giving the Connection Refused error.

Please share your knowledge, cause I cannot sleep untill I get it done .

Thank you

I have the answer.

Hadoop does not work on Debian Jessie 4.x/3.x so just use Wheezy instead. Just changed the OS, installed java, mounted the SSD on which I have the hadoop already configured and it worked from the first try.

I hope this will help people facing the same problem.
