where should HADOOP_HOME variable point to on BigInsights on Cloud?

I'd like to use the kite-dataset tool on BigInsights on cloud, and have installed it on the mastermanager node in my home folder as per the installation instructions:

curl http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/kitesdk/kite-tools/1.0.0/kite-tools-1.0.0-binary.jar -o kite-dataset
chmod +x kite-dataset

However, when I try to run it, I get:

$ ./kite-dataset
ERROR: Cannot find Hadoop installation!
You can fix this warning by setting HADOOP_HOME

Where should this variable point to on BigInsights on Cloud?

Solution

  • Not sure if this is helpful, but this page shows where HADOOP_HOME can typically be found on BigInsights 3 and 4:

    For IBM InfoSphere BigInsights 3.x:

    Set HADOOP_HOME to BigInsights_Install_Directory/IHC.
For example, /opt/ibm/biginsights/IHC.

    For IBM InfoSphere BigInsights 4.x:

    Set HADOOP_HOME to BigInsights_Install_Directory/hadoop.
For example, /usr/iop/4.0.0.0/hadoop.
