Dear whirr users and whirr developer:
I'm trying to develop a cloud server recently and I found whirr is used to support to launch a hadoop cluster based on the cloud server(Amazon EC2 or Rackspace), I tried to executed the command line list in the Quick Start Guide(http://whirr.apache.org/docs/0.8.1/quick-start-guide.html), but it is failed when I start to launch the cluster as "/whirr launch-cluster --config hadoop.properties", The error messages are as follows: Cluster-user != root or don not run as root Help: whirr help launch-cluster Here is my the content of my hadoop.properties: whirr.cluster-name=myhadoopcluster whirr.instance-templates=1 hadoop-jobtracker+hadoop-namenode,1 hadoop-datanode+hadoop-tasktracker whirr.provider=aws-ec2 whirr.private-key-file=root/.ssh/id_rsa whirr.public-key-file=root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub Need I set the whirr.identity and whirr.credential to the hadoop.properties or what other steps I have set into wrong value Best Regards -Jeremy Lv
