Hi,
As a newcomer to Hadoop, I really struggled in the beginning to set things up with running jobs from my IDE, and after I dove deep into how things works, I discovered there are plenty of things that one has to take care, and many parameters that can influence one's mind on how to best deploy the jobs. Most of them I described in my blog with some additional utility code that can help many to submit their jobs, together with any necessary 3rd party libs: <http://pannoniancoder.blogspot.com/2013/06/submitting-hadoop-jobs-programma tically.html> http://pannoniancoder.blogspot.com/2013/06/submitting-hadoop-jobs-programmat ically.html Moreover, I develop on Windows (don't ask me why), so one more thing to worry about since Hadoop has not been developed with that OS in mind the first place. Regards, Vjeran
