How-to: Use Eclipse with MapReduce in Cloudera’s QuickStart VM by Jesse Anderson.
From the post:
One of the common questions I get from students and developers in my classes relates to IDEs and MapReduce: How do you create a MapReduce project in Eclipse and then debug it?
To answer that question, I have created a screencast showing you how, using Cloudera’s QuickStart VM:
The QuickStart VM helps developers get started writing MapReduce code without having to worry about software installs and configuration. Everything is installed and ready to go. You can download the image type that corresponds to your preferred virtualization platform.
Eclipse is installed on the VM and there is a link on the desktop to start it.
Nice illustration of walking through the map reduce process.
I continue to be impressed by the use of VMs.
Would be a nice way to distribute topic map tooling.
