Hi Asif, Just install the Hadoop package onto the external node to use it as a client. On that node, you set your fs.default.name parameter to point to the cluster, but you don't start any daemons locally, nor do you add that node to the slaves file.
Then just do "hadoop fs -put localfile hdfsfile" on all your local data and it'll upload it to HDFS. - Aaron On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 1:04 PM, asif md <asif.d...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can anyone please tell me how to load data onto a hadoop cluster from a non > cluster node. > > I have a lot of data on one such node and also i want to keep only hdfs > data > on the cluster. > > Thanks > > Asif. >
