Hi Gary,
thanks for your reply. I was trying to use the hadoop profile and follow the instruction you provided. I think that something could be wrong in your sequence.
1 $ cd /usr/local/hadoop-2.7.3 2 $ sudo bin/hdfs dfs -mkdir /tmp/gary 3 $ sudo bin/hdfs dfs -chown gary /users/gary 4 $ bin/hdfs dfs -put etc/hadoop input 5 $ bin/hadoop jar share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples-2.7.3.jar grep input output 'dfs[a-z].+' 6 $ bin/hdfs dfs -get output /tmp/output 7 $ cat /tmp/output/*
(of course I have substitute gary with my username)
In 3, users --> tmp ?
Before 4, should I add the input directory? With sudo bin/hdfs
dfs -mkdir /tmp/gary/input ?
