where is the conf directory of Cloudera hadoop located?

Question

I've been searching for the location where the Cloudera Hadoop /conf directory is located but I couldn't find it. I installed the namenode using Cloudera's one-click package repo, and I ran sudo apt-get install -y hadoop-hdfs-namenode, but now I need to find the /conf so I can configure a Hadoop cluster. Does someone know where is it located?

Answer 1

It is in the usual place, /etc/hadoop/conf. You will find this is actually a symlink that uses alternatives, but you can just go to this directory to find/edit config if needed.

However it's much easier to manage the packages and config via Cloudera Manager. I really wouldn't bother with editing them manually.

Answer 2

Conf files are located under /etc/hadoop/conf

you can use command to see the list of all configuration files:

[cloudera@quickstart ~]$ ls -lart /etc/hadoop/conf/
