Hi, I would like know how to run hadoop in standalone mode within eclipse, I am able to run it from outside eclipse, using /bin/hadoop <fully qualified classname> <args> >From within eclipse I keep getting the following errors even after setting the working directory to the root install path
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration.getLocalPath(Configuration.java:788) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobConf.getLocalPath(JobConf.java:232) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.LocalJobRunner$Job.<init>(LocalJobRunner.java:83) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.LocalJobRunner.submitJob(LocalJobRunner.java:306) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient.submitJob(JobClient.java:843) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient.runJob(JobClient.java:1142) at org.apache.hadoop.examples.WordCount.run(WordCount.java:154) at org.apache.hadoop.util.ToolRunner.run(ToolRunner.java:65) at org.apache.hadoop.examples.WordCount.main(WordCount.java:160) It is definitively a configuration error, I would like to know the conf parameter that I need to include in the class file. Thanks George.
