YARN Client Install
YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) is the resource management layer in Hadoop. It allows multiple data processing engines like MapReduce, Spark, and others to execute on the same Hadoop cluster. In this article, we will focus on installing YARN client on a machine to interact with a YARN cluster.
Prerequisites
Before installing the YARN client, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
- A machine with access to the YARN cluster
- Java Development Kit (JDK) installed
- Hadoop distribution with YARN support
Steps to Install YARN Client
Follow these steps to install the YARN client on your machine:
-
Download Hadoop: Obtain a Hadoop distribution with YARN support from the official Apache Hadoop website or a mirror site.
-
Extract the Archive: Extract the downloaded Hadoop archive to a location on your machine where you want to install it.
-
Set Environment Variables: Set the following environment variables in your
.bashrc
or.bash_profile
file:export HADOOP_HOME=/path/to/hadoop/directory export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin
Replace
/path/to/hadoop/directory
with the actual path where you extracted the Hadoop archive. -
Configure Hadoop: Edit the
hadoop-env.sh
file in theetc/hadoop
directory of your Hadoop installation and set theJAVA_HOME
variable to the path of your JDK installation. -
Set Hadoop Configuration: Copy the
core-site.xml
,hdfs-site.xml
,mapred-site.xml
, andyarn-site.xml
files from the YARN cluster to theetc/hadoop
directory of your Hadoop installation. -
Test the Installation: Run the following command to check if the YARN client is installed correctly:
yarn version
If the command returns the YARN version information, then the installation was successful.
Using the YARN Client
Once you have installed the YARN client, you can use it to submit MapReduce jobs or interact with the YARN cluster. Here is an example of submitting a MapReduce job using the YARN client:
-
Write a MapReduce Program: Create a MapReduce program in Java or any other supported language.
-
Package the Program: Package the program into a JAR file that includes all dependencies.
-
Submit the Job: Use the following command to submit the MapReduce job to the YARN cluster:
yarn jar path/to/your/jarfile.jar MainClass inputPath outputPath
Replace
path/to/your/jarfile.jar
with the actual path to your JAR file,MainClass
with the main class of your MapReduce program,inputPath
with the input path on HDFS, andoutputPath
with the output path on HDFS.

Conclusion
In this article, we discussed the installation of the YARN client on a machine to interact with a YARN cluster. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can successfully set up the YARN client and submit MapReduce jobs to the YARN cluster. YARN is a powerful resource management layer in Hadoop that enables efficient execution of data processing tasks on distributed systems.
