Setup a Hadoop cluster at your home and configure R to analyze your data

Here are the steps to follow to setup a single node hadoop cluster, Hive and R

1. Install JDK(Version: latest, in my case JDK v7 update 45)
2. Install Hadoop (Version: Hadoop-1.2.1)
3. Install Hive (Version: Hive-0.11.0)
4. Install R with shared libraries
5. Configuring and install required packages for RHadoop and RHive
6. Testing RHadoop and RHive

Note:

1. Check your system type, is it 32 bit or 64 bit (in my case it is 64 bit)
2. Be aware of your application versions

Install freshly a new Ubuntu (in my case Version: 13.10. Saucy Salamander on Oracle Virtual Box) with fully upgraded over internet with some basic applications

  sudo apt-get install vim # Modified vi editor
  sudo apt-get install ssh # Hadoop cluster works on SSH network to manages its resources
