Specify the tarball url would help you to install hadoop correctly.
e.g.
whirr.hadoop.version=1.2.1
whirr.hadoop.tarball.url=http://apache.osuosl.org/hadoop/common/hadoop-${whirr.hadoop.version}/hadoop-${whirr.hadoop.version}.tar.gz
The error of md5 download is because whirr uses install_tarball.sh
in whirr/core/src/main/resources/functions
you can change the HadoopClusterActionHandler.java
to use install_tarball_no_md5.sh
in whirr/core/src/main/resources/functions/
