Apache Tajo – Installation

To install Apache Tajo, you must have the following software on your system −

  • Hadoop version 2.3 or greater
  • Java version 1.7 or higher
  • Linux or Mac OS

Let us now continue with the following steps to install Tajo.

Verifying Java installation

Hopefully, you have already installed Java version 8 on your machine. Now, you just need to proceed by verifying it.

To verify, use the following command −

$ java -version

If Java is successfully installed on your machine, you could see the present version of the installed Java. If Java is not installed follow these steps to install Java 8 on your machine.

Download JDK

Download the latest version of JDK by visiting the following link and then, download the latest version.

The latest version is JDK 8u 92 and the file is “jdk-8u92-linux-x64.tar.gz”. Please download the file on your machine. Following this, extract the files and move them to a specific directory. Now, set the Java alternatives. Finally, Java is installed on your machine.

Verifying Hadoop Installation

You have already installed Hadoop on your system. Now, verify it using the following command −

$ hadoop version

If everything is fine with your setup, then you could see the version of Hadoop. If Hadoop is not installed, download and install Hadoop by visiting the following link − https://www.apache.org

Apache Tajo Installation

Apache Tajo provides two execution modes — local mode and fully distributed mode. After verifying Java and Hadoop installation proceed with the following steps to install Tajo cluster on your machine. A local mode Tajo instance requires very easy configurations.

Download the latest version of Tajo by visiting the following link − https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/tajo

Now you can download the file “tajo-0.11.3.tar.gz” from your machine.

Extract Tar File

Extract the tar file by using the following command −

$ cd opt/ 
$ tar tajo-0.11.3.tar.gz 
$ cd tajo-0.11.3

Set Environment Variable

Add the following changes to “conf/tajo-env.sh” file

$ cd tajo-0.11.3 
$ vi conf/tajo-env.sh
 
# Hadoop home. Required 
export HADOOP_HOME = /Users/path/to/Hadoop/hadoop-2.6.2
 
# The java implementation to use.  Required. 
export JAVA_HOME = /path/to/jdk1.8.0_92.jdk/

Here, you must specify Hadoop and Java path to “tajo-env.sh” file. After the changes are made, save the file and quit the terminal.
