Installing Apache Kudu on Cloudera’s Quickstart VM
Steps to Install Apache Kudu on the Cloudera Quickstart VM
Cloudera, one of the leading distributions of Hadoop, provides an easy to install Virtual Machine for the purposes of getting started quickly on their platform. With this, someone can easily get a single node CDH cluster running within a Virtual Environment. Users could use this VM for their own personal learning, rapidly building applications on a dedicated cluster, or for many other purposes.
Apache Kudu is a columnar storage manager developed for the Apache Hadoop platform. Kudu shares the common technical properties of Hadoop ecosystem applications: it runs on commodity hardware, is horizontally scalable, and supports highly available operation.
The Cloudera Quickstart VM doesn’t come with Apache Kudu right out of the box. But can be installed fairly easily.
