Answer 1

For installing Hadoop it is soooooo much easier installing the free version from Cloudera. It comes with a nice GUI that makes it simple to add nodes, there is no compiling or stuffing around with dependencies, it comes with stuff like hive, pig etc.

Steps are: 1) Download 2) Run it 3) Go to web GUI (1.2.3.4:7180) 4) Add extra nodes in the web gui (do NOT install the cloudera software on other nodes, it does it all for you) 5) Within the web GUI go to Home, click Hue and Hue Web UI. This gives you access to Hive, Pig, Sqoop etc.
