Hello All:

I used a combination of tutorials to setup hadoop but most seems to be using 
either an old version of hadoop or only using 2 machines for the cluster which 
isn't really a cluster. Does anyone know of a good tutorial which setups 
multiple nodes for a cluster?? I already looked at the Apache website but it 
does not give sample values for the conf files. Also each set of tutorials seem 
to have a different set of parameters which they indicate should be changed so 
now its a bit confusing. For example, my configuration sets a dedicate 
namenode, secondary namenode and 8 slave nodes but when I run the start command 
it gives an error. Should I install hadoop to my user directory or on the root? 
I have it in my directory but all the nodes have a central file system as 
opposed to distributed so whatever I do on one node in my user folder it affect 
all the others so how do i set the paths to ensure that it uses a distributed 
system?

For the errors below, I checked the directories and the files are there. Am I 
not sure what went wrong and how to set the conf to not have central file 
system. Thank you.

I had tried running this command below earlier but also got problems:
