hdfs-haskell

Haskell bindings to libhdfs (http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/libhdfs.html)

Install

• Download a copy of the Hadoop source distribution, preferably version 0.20.2+228 by cloudera: http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh/3/hadoop-0.20.2+228.tar.gz

• Extract the tarball and build Hadoop including native libraries:

  ant compile -Dcompile.c++=true -Dlibhdfs=true

  • On Mac OSX, you might need to set LDFLAGS:

    LDFLAGS="-framework JavaVM" ant compile -Dcompile.c++=true -Dlibhdfs=true

• set the environment variable HADOOP_HOME to the directory where you extracted the tarball, eg.:

  export HADOOP_HOME=/tmp/hadoop-0.20.2+228

• Build hdfs-haskell using cabal (replace PLATFORM with your respective architecture):

  cabal install --extra-include-dirs=$HADOOP_HOME/build/c++/PLATFORM/include \
                --extra-lib-dirs=$HADOOP_HOME/build/c++/PLATFORM/lib
  

• With a running (single-node) Hadoop, you may run test.sh. Have a look at test.hs to see example code.
