Hadoop release missing /conf directory
I am trying to install a pseudo-distributed mode Hadoop, running into the same issue.
By following the book Hadoop The Definitive Guide (Third Edition), on page 618, it says:
In Hadoop 2.0 and later, MapReduce runs on YARN and there is an additional con-figuration file called yarn-site.xml. All the configuration files should go in theetc/hadoop subdirectoryHope this confirms that etc/hadoop is the correct place.
I think the docs need to be updated. Although the directory structure has changed, file names for important files like hadoop-env.sh, core-ste.xml and hdfs-site.xml have not changed. You may find the following link useful for getting started.
