apache hadoop-tools installation in cloudera

I have cloudera 5.14 development environment. I want to install apache hadoop-tools(link) in the cloudera distribution . Specifically I need hadoop-resourceestimator (link).

There is no documentation available how to install the same .

Any leads will be highly appreciated.

Solution

  • AFAIK cdh5.14.x is based on the old hadoop version 2.6.0 which does not have resourceestimator tool. It is available but is not supported in CDH6 ("not supported" is not the same as "not available"). You can find resourceestimator in CDH6.x distribution,

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 71105 Dec 6 03:13 /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/jars/hadoop-resourceestimator-3.0.0-cdh6.0.x-SNAPSHOT.jar

    and you're free to use it, but Cloudera Support won't provide any help.
