Running the Python Code on Hadoop Failed

Question

I have tried to follow the instructions on this page: http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/writing-an-hadoop-mapreduce-program-in-python/

$bin/hadoop jar contrib/streaming/hadoop-streaming-1.0.4.jar -input /user/root/wordcountpythontxt -output /user/root/wordcountpythontxt-output -mapper /user/root/wordcountpython/mapper.py -reducer /user/root/wordcountpython/reducer.py -file /user/root/mapper.py -file /user/root/reducer.py

It says

File: /user/root/mapper.py does not exist, or is not readable.
Streaming Command Fail

When i browsed through the url:jobdetails.jsp/

i found lot of exception

i am not able to fix it out pls help me to run the python pgm.

Answer 1

If you checked the instructions carefully on the link,

hduser@ubuntu:/usr/local/hadoop$ bin/hadoop jar contrib/streaming/hadoop-*streaming*.jar -file /home/hduser/mapper.py -mapper /home/hduser/mapper.py -file /home/hduser/reducer.py -reducer /home/hduser/reducer.py -input /user/hduser/gutenberg/* -output /user/hduser/gutenberg-output

there it clearly shows there is no need to copy the mapper.py and reducer.py to the HDFS, you can link both the files from the local filesystem: as /path/to/mapper. I am sure you can avoid the above error.

Answer 2

You might want to check that you don't have a dos-style new line after your #! line within mapper.py. If you do, hadoop may not be able to find your python interpreter since it'll see an extra CR. E.g. /usr/local/bin/python^M instead of /usr/local/bin/python where ^M is CR. Try dos2unix command on both your mapper and reducer.
