I'm getting many "cannot find symbol" errors. I've been searching everywhere and have given up. There has to be a good (and very simple) reason for why this is happening.
My setup is as follows: hadoop installed to - /usr/local/hadoop Test folder (to compile word count) - /usr/local/hadoop/test/WordCount.java I am finally at the point where I tried running this command (out of desperation): javac -verbose -classpath "/usr/local/hadoop/*":"/usr/local/hadoop/lib/*" Wordcount.java The output was quite large. Suffices to say that the search path for source and classfiles was every .jar file in the /usr/local/hadoop and /usr/local/hadoop/lib directories. A sampling of the errors I'm getting are as follows: import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration; WordCount.java:7: cannot find symbol import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path; WordCount.java:8 cannot find symbol ... ... so on and so on. I'm still a beginner when it comes to compiling command line java and running Linux. But, I did get our cluster up and running the example files and benchmarks. Thank You, mode
