Conventions used
There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg disk image file as another disk in your system."
A block of code is set as follows:
export HADOOP_CONF_DIR="${HADOOP_CONF_DIR:-$YARN_HOME/etc/hadoop}" export HADOOP_COMMON_HOME="${HADOOP_COMMON_HOME:-$YARN_HOME}" export HADOOP_HDFS_HOME="${HADOOP_HDFS_HOME:-$YARN_HOME}"
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
$ hadoop fs -cat /tmp/output-7/part*
NewDelhi, 440
Kolkata, 390
Bangalore, 270
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
useradd hadoop passwd hadoop1
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select System info from the Administration panel."
