Hi,
I need to install hadoop on 16-node cluster. I have a couple of related
questions:
1. I have installed hadoop on a shared directory, i.e., there is just one
place where the whole hadoop installation files exist and all the 16 nodes
use the same installation.
Is that an issue or I need to install hadoop on each of these nodes in their
local directory separately?
2. I installed hadoop-0.21 and after following the installation
instructions, when i tried formatting, I get the following error:

3. I was using before hadoop-0.20, and formatting was working fine.
4. Also, when i do a bin/start-dfs.sh, am able to see the Namenode, Datanode
up, however on bin/start-mapred.sh, am not able to see Jobtracker up on the
master node, though Tasktracker seems to be up on slaves.

Before upgrading to Hadoop-0.21, everything was working fine with
hadoop-0.20 including running benchmarks and getting stats.

Any suggestions in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bikash
