For those attending the Programming for Big Data module the Hadoop part of the course is starting next week. We will be providing a Virtual Machine with Hadoop installed, a copy of which will be available on the first night to download in the labs.
The VM is large, approx 9MB, so if you want to take a copy of this VM we suggest bringing a 16MB USB key to class. These are available in Right Click on Camden Street for approx €18.
If you want to use the VM on your laptop or other machine you will need to have VirtualBox installed.
If you want to install Hadoop yourselves, please note that it needs a Linux-based OS - you cannot install it easily on a Windows machine.
All options will be covered at the first lecture.
