Debug MapReduce (of Hadoop 2.2 or higher) in Eclipse

You can debug in same way.You just run you MapReduce code in standalone mode and use eclipse to debug MR code like any Java code.

Here are the steps I setup in Eclipse. Environment: Ubuntu 16.04.2, Eclipse Neon.3 Release (4.6.3RC2), jdk1.8.0_121. I did a fresh hadoop-2.7.3 installation under /j01/srv/hadoop, which is my $HADOOP_HOME. Replace $HADOOP_HOME value with your actual path wherever referenced below. For hadoop running from Eclipse, you do not need to do any hadoop configurations, what really needed is to pull the right set of hadoop jars into Eclipse.

Step 1 Create new Java Project
File > New > Project...
Select Java Project, Next

Enter Project name: hadoopmr

Click Configure default...

Source folder name: src/main/java
Output folder name: target/classes
Click Apply, OK, then Next
Click tab Libraries

Click Add External JARs...
Browse to hadoop installation folder, and add the following jars, when done click Finish

$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/hadoop-common-2.7.3.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/hadoop-nfs-2.7.3.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/avro-1.7.4.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/commons-cli-1.2.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/commons-collections-3.2.2.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/commons-configuration-1.6.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/commons-io-2.4.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/commons-lang-2.6.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/commons-logging-1.1.3.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/hadoop-auth-2.7.3.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/httpclient-4.2.5.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/httpcore-4.2.5.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/jackson-core-asl-1.9.13.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/jackson-mapper-asl-1.9.13.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/log4j-1.2.17.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/slf4j-api-1.7.10.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/common/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.10.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-client-common-2.7.3.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core-2.7.3.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient-2.7.3.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-client-shuffle-2.7.3.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/mapreduce/lib-examples/hsqldb-2.0.0.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/tools/lib/guava-11.0.2.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/yarn/hadoop-yarn-api-2.7.3.jar$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/yarn/hadoop-yarn-common-2.7.3.jar

Step 2 Create a MapReduce example
Create a new package: org.apache.hadoop.examples
Create WordCount.java under package org.apache.hadoop.examples with the following contents:

Create input.txt under /home/hadoop/input/ (or your path) with the following contents:

What do you mean by ObjectWhat is Java Virtual MachineHow to create Java ObjectHow Java enabled High Performance

Step 3 Setup Debug Configuration
In Eclipse, open WordCount.java, set breakpoints in places you like.
Right click on WordCount.java, Debug As > Debug Configurations...
Select Java Application, click New launch configuration on top-left icon

Enter org.apache.hadoop.examples.WordCount in Main class box
Click Arguments tab

enter

/home/hadoop/input/input.txt /home/hadoop/output

into Program arguments
Click Apply, then Debug
Program starts along with hadoop, it should hit the breakpoints you set.

Check results at

ls -l /home/hadoop/output-rw-r--r-- 1 hadoop hadoop 131 Apr  5 22:59 part-r-00000-rw-r--r-- 1 hadoop hadoop   0 Apr  5 22:59 _SUCCESS

Notes:

1) If program does not run, make sure Project > Build Automatically is checked.
    Project > Clean… to force a build

2) You can get more examples from

jar xvf $HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/mapreduce/sources/hadoop-mapreduce-examples-2.7.3-sources.jar

    Copy them into this project to continue explore

3) You can download this eclipse project from

git clone https://github.com/drachenrio/hadoopmr

In Eclipse, File > Import... > Existing Projects into Workspace > Next
Browse to cloned project and import it
Open .classpath, replace /j01/srv/hadoop-2.7.3 with your hadoop installation home
