MacOS – Installing Hadoop, Zookeeper, AccumuLo on Mac

macos

EDIT

JavaJDK 1.6
Hadoop
ZooKeeper
AccumuLo

Hadoop is starting up and seems to be running fine. Tested the NameNode and JobTracker and they both can be seen in the localhost html page.

ZooKeeper server starts up fine, but I get the error in the Client shell.

You can see the errors from ZooKeeper and AccumuLo below.

ORIGINAL

I am attempting to install these technologies on a OS X loaded with Mountain Lion for testing purposes. The setup is a single-node setup using 'localhost'.

I am running into a few issues…

1) running sudo zkCli -> ls / throws an error

Exception in thread "main" org.apache.zookeeper.KeeperException$ConnectionLossException: KeeperErrorCode = ConnectionLoss for /

2) I attempt to run bin/accumulo init and receive this error…

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/accumulo/start/Platform

It seems that there is something wrong with my class but I am not sure what I need to do.

Here is the summary of the AccumuLo compile:

The easiest way I know of to start with testing is to grab the Hortonworks Sandbox VM image. It provides a CentOS Linux base and comes with Hadoop and Zookeeper. They provide VMs for VMWare and VirtualBox (which is free) that will run on the Mac, and I've used it with Parallels. (I took the VMWare VM and converted it with the VMWare OVF Tool from an OVF to a vmware image which Parallels could convert.)

It does not contain Accumulo, but it gives you a working foundation that might make it easier to install stuff.
