Installing HttpFS

HttpFS is distributed in the hadoop-httpfs package. To install it, use your preferred package manager application. Install the package on the system that will run the HttpFS server.

  Note: Install Cloudera Repository
Before using the instructions on this page to install or upgrade:
  • Install the Cloudera yum, zypper/YaST or apt repository.
  • Install or upgrade CDH 5 and make sure it is functioning correctly.
For instructions, see Installing the Latest CDH 5 Release and Upgrading Unmanaged CDH Using the Command Line.

To install the HttpFS package on a RHEL-compatible system:

$ sudo yum install hadoop-httpfs

To install the HttpFS server package on a SLES system:

$ sudo zypper install hadoop-httpfs

To install the HttpFS package on an Ubuntu or Debian system:

$ sudo apt-get install hadoop-httpfs
  Note:

Installing the httpfs package creates an httpfs service configured to start HttpFS at system startup time.

You are now ready to configure HttpFS. See the next section.
