[quickstart] Setting up a Cluster with Whirr and Cloudera Manager

[George London <ge...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I recently had occasion to learn Hadoop/HBase and set up a fully distributed cluster on EC2.  To save future Hadoop'ers some of the frustration that involved, I wrote a how-to blog post detailing the necessary steps to get going quickly and avoid the gotchas. As far as I know, this is the fastest way to get up and running with no prior Hadoop experience (though please let me know if you have a better method!)

I thought you all might be interested.
