I'm not an expert, but i faced the same problem a time ago. Here are the steps that i did for solving it. I hope that could be useful for you too, here they are:
*Don't use the "clone" command indicated in the "Quick Start Guide"*. The pom has *1.2* version, so is looking for dependencies for that version in maven repositories, and those jar's don't exist, because giraph 1.2 hasn't been released, yet. Instead of doing the clone (sudo git clone https://github.com/apache/giraph.git), the solution is do the following steps: sudo wget http://mirrors.nxnethosting.com/apache/giraph/giraph-1.1.0/giraph-dist-1.1.0-src.tar.gz sudo tar xzf giraph-dist-1.1.0-src.tar.gz sudo chown -R hduser:hadoop giraph-1.1.0 sudo mv giraph-dist-1.1.0 giraph And the build finish without errors, finally!! 2015-11-02 9:59 GMT-03:00 Roberto Gonzalez <roberto.gonza...@neclab.eu>: > Hi all, > > I'm trying to compile giraph for hadoop 2.4.1 but when I execute: > > mvn -Phadoop_yarn -Dhadoop.version=2.4.1 package -DskipTests > > it finish with an error: > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] Building Apache Giraph Distribution 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [WARNING] The POM for > org.apache.giraph:giraph-rexster-io:jar:1.2.0-SNAPSHOT is missing, no > dependency information available > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] Reactor Summary: > [INFO] > [INFO] Apache Giraph Parent ...............................
