DFS locations in Eclipse Europa after accessing Hadoop in a VM
eclipse, hadoop, mapreduce, virtual-machine
Solution
I too ran into the same issue. I installed RedHad cgywin (openssh and openssl packages) and updated the "Path" environment variable with a path to cgywin/bin (`c:\rhcygwin\bin`). Then my Eclipse DFS location was able to connect to Hadoop on the Virtual Machine. Once that was successful I saw the option "hadoop.job.ugi".
http://v-lad.org/Tutorials/Hadoop/00%20-%20Intro.html describes installing cgywin.
Note: I am running the Hadoop VM on Windows Vista.
Problem
I am very new to hadoop. I need to install it and play around with samples. SO i referred this tutorial . I have installed Sandbox given in that tutorial. I need to configure ECLIPSE in windows mentioning VM location as specified in the image below, which is given in the tutorial. I have installed eclipse europa and hadoop plugin. Then in Map/Reduce Locations i gave VM Ip for host name, Linux user name in UserName and 9001 in Map/Reduce port and 9000 in DFS port. In Advanced Tab I have set value to the mapred.system.dir as /hadoop/mapred/system and there is no hadoop.job.ugi to give username. After i click ok, I couldn't get HDFS file system under my DFS locations in ECLIPSE. Please help me on this
