You should also clarify for the group: Do you want to make a virtual machine to run a pseudo-distributed Hadoop cluster on?
Or Do you want to install Hadoop directly onto the Vista machine and run it there? If the former, you should be able to set up a VM just fine with a Linux version of your choice - we use CentOS for that sort of thing here - and set up P-D mode on it, just by using VirtualBox. If the latter... You make want to invest in some extra RAM - no, I'm kidding. :-) HortonWorks has the stable Windows builds as Arpit has already directed you to. You could also consider the Amazon and Microsoft Azure cloud versions of Hadoop, if you can afford to pay for a few cycles every month. They're pretty affordable, and those Amazon $100 gift cards for EC2 are popular giveaway items at trade shows and whatnot... *Devin Suiter* Jr. Data Solutions Software Engineer 100 Sandusky Street | 2nd Floor | Pittsburgh, PA 15212 Google Voice: 412-256-8556 | www.rdx.com On Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 2:11 PM, Arpit Agarwal <aagar...@hortonworks.com>wrote: > You can try building Apache Hadoop with these instructions: > https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hadoop2OnWindows > > 32-bit Windows has not been tested. > > CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE > NOTICE: This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity > to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, > privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
