So hard to install scoobi, any help?

[yang sun]

Spent 3 days now. Still can't get scoobi WordCount to run. In the README, you have this: See the install instructions in the QuickStart section of the User Guide.

But there is no install section in the User Guide. Finally find a scoobi jar file, it won't compile the WordCount example in README. Then followed another WordCount example, compiled this time. But can't run on hadoop cluster. The output is:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)

at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25)

at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597)

at org.apache.hadoop.util.RunJar.main(RunJar.java:156) 

I put all related jar in the big fat jar file. Still doesn't work. 

I was so confused since everyone seems talking about how "easy" it is to run scoobi. Nobody mentioned it took years to compile a working jar. So missed the old java world where you can just download a jar library and included in your ant or whatever build, then everything just works.

Hi,

Did you try to use the example application in: 

  https://github.com/NICTA/scoobi/tree/master/examples/wordCount?

If you clone the scoobi project and go to this subproject you should be able to use sbt to run it directly.

Please ask on a mailing list or send me emails directly at eric.to...@nicta.com.au if that still doesn't work.

Thanks,

Eric.

Also if you could include as much information as possible (versions, OSs, hadoop version, local/cluster etc) if you can get a normal hadoop program running, have hadoop config files locally etc. and what parts are failing, and where they are failing

Otherwise it's hard for us to help you more than point you to the user guide =)
