Installing Hadoop on Natty Narwhal

Here are the notes that will save you some trouble

To install Java on Natty, use this link
http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/

That is because you need a screen to accept Java license.

Start by installing Cloudera Hadoop in pseudo-distributed mode for Ubuntu lucid, not natty.

Formatting the node must be done as user hdfs, or else permissions won't work.
