Environment Variables

The primary configuration steps involve setting the following environment variables to point to the base directory of the Hadoop installation:

  • HADOOP_HOME: This variable should be set to the root path of the Hadoop installation.^[600-developer__big-data__hadoop__hadoop-01.md]
  • hadoop.home.dir: This configuration is used to define the Hadoop home directory within the system environment.^[600-developer__big-data__hadoop__hadoop-01.md]
