Package org.apache.hadoop.conf does not exist

Question

I am new to compiling Hadoop code and know this question has been answered multiple times. But, I still find it hard figuring out the correct classpath to make the WordCount.java code to compile. I am running a CentOS version 7.

My Hadoop Version is:

Hadoop 2.7.1 Subversion   
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop.git -r 15ecc87ccf4a0228f35af08fc56de536e6ce657a   
Compiled by jenkins on 2015-06-29T06:04Z  
Compiled with protoc 2.5.0  
From source with checksum fc0a1a23fc1868e4d5ee7fa2b28a58a  
This command was run using /usr/local/hadoop/share/hadoop/common/hadoop-common-2.7.1.jar

When I did echo $PATH, I got the following:

/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk/:/usr/local/hadoop/bin:/usr/local/hadoop/sbin:/home/hduser/.local/bin:/home/hduser/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk/:/usr/local/hadoop/bin:/usr/local/hadoop/sbin

The Java Version I am running is:

java version "1.7.0_91"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (rhel-2.6.2.1.el7_1-x86_64 u91-b00)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.91-b01, mixed mode)

I did set all the environmental variables for Java and Hadoop in the vi .bashrc as shown below and jps passes. Java also compiles with other codes, but I think I am getting the classpath for Hadoop wrong.

Java Variables

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk/
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME

Hadoop variables

export HADOOP_INSTALL=/usr/local/hadoop 
export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_INSTALL/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_INSTALL/sbin
export HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=$HADOOP_INSTALL
export HADOOP_COMMON_HOME=$HADOOP_INSTALL
export HADOOP_HDFS_HOME=$HADOOP_INSTALL
export YARN_HOME=$HADOOP_INSTALL
export HADOOP_COMMON_LIB_NATIVE_DIR=$HADOOP_INSTALL/lib/native

I get these errors when i try to compile the WordCount.java in the working directory:

Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Answer 1

You can run it like following:

javac WordCount.java -cp $(hadoop classpath)

If you get following error for this:

zsh: command not found: hadoop

javac: -cp requires an argument

You can try to find exact location of hadoop, as following worked for me, as I had installed in Mac using brew(It will be different in Linux):

javac WordCount.java -cp $(/usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.8.0/bin/hadoop classpath)

The hadoop classpath provides the compiler with all the paths it needs to compile correctly and you should see a resulting WordCount.class appear in the directory.

Answer 2

I too have Hadoop 2.7.1 and I am able to compile WordCount.

All your missing packages are from hadoop-common and hadoop-core jars.

You need to have following Maven dependencies included in your pom.xml (I just have following dependencies and it compiles for me):

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
        <artifactId>hadoop-hdfs</artifactId>
        <version>2.7.1</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
        <artifactId>hadoop-common</artifactId>
        <version>2.7.1</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
        <artifactId>hadoop-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.1</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
