I got stuck on the first example and had to go digging > through the scripts to figure out why it wasn't working for me. > It turns out that I didn't have the HADOOP_HOME environment variable set. It > would have saved a lot of time if the instructions mentioned setting this > variable. > Thanks. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
