Hi Oleksiy, No need to copy the jar file and execute the hadoop command remotely to submit job.
Hadoop provides JobClient API to submit and monitor the jobs from remote systems/remote application. http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.0/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/Jo bClient.html Here is an example on how to use JobClient to run the job : // Create a new JobConf JobConf job = new JobConf(new Configuration(), MyJob.class); // Specify various job-specific parameters job.setJobName("myjob"); job.setInputPath(new Path("in")); job.setOutputPath(new Path("out")); job.setMapperClass(MyJob.MyMapper.class); job.setReducerClass(MyJob.MyReducer.class); // Submit the job, then poll for progress until the job is complete JobClient.runJob(job); I hope this helps to solve problem.

For instance I have *.jar file with MapReduce app it works ok when I run it from command line for instance using this command: "hadoop jar /usr/joe/wordcount.jar org.myorg.WordCount /usr/joe/wordcount/input /usr/joe/wordcount/output" But in situation when I have another server (simple web app) where user can upload jar file, specify configuration for the MapReduce app and so on. And this server should interact with hadoop server. I mean somehow to upload this jar file to the hadoop server and run it with attributes. So, right now I see only one way of how to do this, it's upload jar file to the hadoop server and run remotely command: "hadoop jar /usr/joe/wordcount.jar org.myorg.WordCount /usr/joe/wordcount/input /usr/joe/wordcount/output". So may be hadoop has spatial API for doing this kind of tasks remotely? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Run-hadoop-Map-Reduce-app-from-another-machine-tp32595 264p32595264.html Sent from the Hadoop core-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
