IDE for writing and running hadoop jobs? [closed]

Question

I have recently started learning the basics of Hadoop map-reduce programming in Java. So far, the only way I found is writing the code in a file using vi or emacs which seems awful, primitive and very painful.

Is there any IDE for writing, compiling and running Hadoop programs?

Answer 1

Use Eclipse. Cloudera has a great screencast here for configuring eclipse for hadoop development. Also debugging a hadoop job locally is pretty cool using eclipse (though not trivial). To know more on that, see here.
