Hadoop on Sun Solaris

[Palikala, Rajendra (CCL)]

Can I build Hadoop on Sun Solaris. The documentation says it is only supported 
on Linux, Open Solaris and on Windows for Dev purposes. I want to build a 
prototype on Hadoop on our existing OS which is Sun Solaris. This is purely for 
proto-typing purposes only. As Hadoop is completely written in Java, I think I 
can install on Hadoop. Please advise.

Thanks,
Rajendra

I'm using it on Solaris without any problem.  Of course, I'm just using 
the provided JAR files.  As long as you have all the right pieces, e.g. 
ant, javac, the libraries, you should be able to build.

Rajendra,

Hadoop works fine on solaris. We have had it in production on solaris  
for a number of months now.


Good luck!

Best,
Jochen
