Hello,

I'm having an  HADOOP_HOME is not set error: 

DEBUG Shell: Failed to detect a valid hadoop home directory
java.io.IOException: HADOOP_HOME or hadoop.home.dir are not set.

However, I know that HADOOP_HOME is depreciated. Also, there is no mapReduce installed on my cluster (only map reduce 2 -yarn is installed).

Therefore I thought I should have an HADOOP_PREFIX error. (I do not understand) 

The error is triggered at the second line of the folowing code. 

	Configuration conf = new Configuration();
		FileSystem hdfs = FileSystem.get(conf);
		Path pathInputEvent= new Path(FOLDER);
		Path localFilePath = new Path(LOCAL_FOLDER);
		
		if(hdfs.exists(pathInputEvent)){
			hdfs.delete(pathInputEvent,false);
			hdfs.copyFromLocalFile(localFilePath, pathInputEvent);
		}

 I tried to set HADOOP_HOME in eclipse by setting the value /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/hadoop to the HADOOP_HOME variable in run configurations->environement

Note: I got the value from the forum http://community.cloudera.com/t5/Cloudera-Manager-Installation/Where-is-HADOOP-HOME-lib-on-CDH-5-0-1...

This it didn't worked :I had an error that said that hadoop home directory is an absolute path or it doesn't exist - an IOException.

Why is the error asking for HADOOP_HOME and not HADOOP_PREFIX? And what value should I set for which variable?

Thank you!
