Setting up Hadoop v2 on your local machine
This recipe describes how to set up Hadoop v2 on your local machine using the local mode. Local mode is a non-distributed mode that can be used for testing and debugging your Hadoop applications. When running a Hadoop application in local mode, all the required Hadoop components and your applications execute inside a single Java Virtual Machine (JVM) process.
