Hi Folks
This is very COOL. I did exactly the following, but downloading the
tar file and
following up from "Building" and finally, I was able to follow thro till
the end up to
blur> create testTableName file:///data/testTableName 1
blur> add testTableName fieldName:testing
blur> search testTableName fieldName:testing
Totalhits 1
--------------------------
fieldName | testing
I got it working up to the above, VERY VERY COOL and thank you
Aaron for your detailed information.
Now, what else can I do to help, please let me know.
Cheers
Joseph Rajkumar
PS: For those curious, I am on a imac, running OSX-10.6.X, using
hadoop-1.0.4 and zookeeper 3.4.5.
