Hadoop Quickstart page

[Jason Rennie <jr...@gmail.com>]

I just ran through this as a new user and had trouble w/ the JAVA_HOME
setting.  Per the instructions, I had JAVA_HOME set appropriately (via my
.bashrc), but not in conf/hadoop-env.sh.  Would be good if "1." under
"Required Software" specified where JAVA_HOME should be set.

http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/quickstart.html

Cheers,

Jason

P.S. Very nice that there is a quick start like this.  So many projects lack
something like this to get you started...

Ah, I see.  Probably missed that since I though I had already set JAVA_HOME
properly.

Just did that.  Thanks for the pointer.

Jason - it is specified a bit lower down in the 'Download' section.  
Point taken, we should clarify it.

Do you want to go ahead and file a documentation request (https:// 
issues.apache.org/jira/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa) ? Thanks!
