I am new to hadoop and maven. I will like to compile the hadoop from the source and install it. I am following instructions from http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/SingleCluster.html
So far, i have managed to download hadoop source code and from the source directory issued "mvn clean install -Pnative" Next i tried to execute mvn assembly:assembly, but i get following error: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.3:assembly (default-cli) on project hadoop-main: Error reading assemblies: No assembly descriptors found. -> [Help 1] Please help so that i can move forward. Also, the above mentioned install link, does not mention what should be the value of "*$HADOOP_COMMON_HOME*/*$HADOOP_HDFS_HOME"* * * *Thanks in advance,* *Jim*
