compilation of hadoop word count example

[#1]

I am following apache instructions at

https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.5.2/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/MapReduce...

when I try to compile the java code I get the error :

[root@hadoop1 sami]# hadoop  WordCount.java
Error: Could not find or load main class WordCount.java
[root@hadoop1 sami]# hadoop com.sun.tools.javac.Main WordCount.java
Error: Could not find or load main class com.sun.tools.javac.Main
[root@hadoop1 sami]#

Do you have the JDK installed? Is the JAVA_HOME environment variable set for the root user (since your example is using root)?

Notice the instructions have

Assuming environment variables are set as follows:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar

[#3]

yes I have jdk installed but I cant find the javac utility in the installed folders. all the above variables are set properly.

It sounds like you have the JRE installed and not the JDK.

I assume that you try to follow: https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/MapReduce...

Execute the following to determine whether JAVA_HOME and HADOOP_CLASSPATH are properly set:

echo $JAVA_HOME

echo $HADOOP_CLASSPATH

If they are properly set, you could use the following to compile, create jar and run.

To compile:

javac -classpath ${HADOOP_CLASSPATH} -d WordCount/ WordCount.java

To create jar:

jar -cvf WordCount.jar -C WordCount/ .

To run:

hadoop jar WordCount.jar org.myorg.WordCount test/ testout

I have jdk installed but it does not contain "javac" ?

It looks like you have the JRE installed, not the JDK. The JRE allows you to run java applications, but does not let you compile.
