Installing & getting started with Cloudera QuickStart on VMWare

This document provides a step-by-step guide on how to install and get started with Cloudera QuickStart on VMWare. It covers the process of installing VMware and Cloudera, allocating RAM size, launching Cloudera Express, logging in to Cloudera Manager, starting all the services, and processing HDFS file on Impala. The document also explains how to browse and load HDFS data from local files, mark the Impala table at existing data files, specify the Impala table, and query the table. The document is suitable for beginners who want to learn how to use Cloudera QuickStart on VMWare.

1. Installing & getting started with Cloudera QuickStart on VMWare
Install VMware for windows
1. Using the https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free link for download the VMware. And
we select the VMware Workstation player.
2. Downloaded VMware is installed by double clicking on the downloaded ".exe" file.
System automatically restarts when we install the VMware.
Install Cloudera for VMWare
1. Download the Cloudera quick start from the
"https://www.cloudera.com/downloads/quickstart_vms/5-12.html".
1

2. Fill the form and download the "zip" file.
3. Extract the zip file.

4. Open the installed VMware Workstation Plyer. And Select “cloudera-quickstart-vm-
5.12.0-0-vmware.vmx” to open a virtual machine.
5. Click the edit settings and allocate RAM size as "8GB" and "2 CPU cores".Go to
start-->run and type “msinfo32.exe” to find the information of our window systems.

1. Process of HDFS file on impala:
The following steps are described how to process the csv file on impala:
1. Analyze a new impala instance.
2. Browse and load HDFS Data from local files.
3. Mark the impala table at existing data files.
4. Specify the impala table.
5. Query the table.
6. Data loading and querying.
6.1 Analyze a new impala instance:
Determine the techniques for finding your way about the tables and databases of an
unexplored impala instance.
An empty impala instance contains no tables but it contains two databases.
 “default” where new tables are created when you do not specify
any other database.
 “_Impala_builtins”, a sytem database used to occupy all the built-
in functions.

The following example contains the simple table for performing the following queries:

[localhost:21000] > create table t2 (id int, word string);
[localhost:21000] > insert into t2 values (1, "one"), (3, "three"), (5,
'five');
[localhost:21000] > select word from t1 join t2 on (t1.x = t2.id);

6.2 Browse and load HDFS data from local files:
This scenario clarifies how to create some very small tables. It is suitable for first-
time users with SQL features.
TAB1 and TAB2 are loaded with data files in HDFS.
A subset of data is copied from TAB1 and TAB2.
$ whoami
cloudera
$ hdfs dfs -ls /user
Found 3 items
drwxr-xr-x - cloudera cloudera 0 2013-04-22 18:54 /user/cloudera
drwxrwx--- - mapred mapred 0 2013-03-15 20:11 /user/history

drwxr-xr-x - hue supergroup 0 2013-03-15 20:10 /user/hive
$ hdfs dfs -mkdir -p /user/cloudera/sample_data/tab1
/user/cloudera/sample_data/tab2
6.3 Mark the impala table at existing data files:
A comfortable way to set up data for impala to access is to use an external table,
where the data exists in a set of HDFS. Mark the impala table at the directory containing those
files.
$ cd ~/cloudera/datasets
$ ./tpcds-setup.sh
... Downloads and unzips the kit, builds the data and loads it into HDFS ...
$ hdfs dfs -ls /user/hive/tpcds/customer

The below command used to run this script:
impala-shell -i localhost -f customer_setup.sql
6.4 Specify the impala table:
Now we have updated the database metadata and we can confirm that impala access
the expected tables. Then the attributes of the table are examined. Now we created the table
named as default in database. By prepending the database, we qualify the name of the table. For
example "default. Customer".

6.5 Query the table:
We can query the data that contained in the tables. Depending on our configuration,
impala coordinates the query execution across a multi nodes or single node.
17

There are many ways to execute queries on impala:
Passing a set of commands:
$ impala-shell -i impala-host -f myquery.sql
Connected to localhost:21000
50000
Returned 1 row(s) in 0.19s
Using the impala-shell command in the mode of interactive:
$ impala-shell -i impala-host
Connected to localhost:21000
[impala-host:21000] > select count(*) from customer_address;
50000
Returned 1 row(s) in 0.37s
Passing a single command to the impala-shell:
$ impala-shell -i impala-host -q 'select count(*) from customer_address'
Connected to localhost:21000
50000
Returned 1 row(s) in 0.29s
6.6 Data loading and querying:
Data loading:
1. Browse the .csv file and get a data set from these local files.
2. Create table for load the data.
3. Load the data into created table.
Some important queries:
Inserting the data:
Query for insert the data into the table is given below:
INSERT OVERWRITE TABLE tab3
18

SELECT id, col_1, col_2, MONTH(col_3), DAYOFMONTH(col_3)
FROM tab1 WHERE YEAR(col_3) = 2012;
Query for check the result:
SELECT * FROM tab3;
The result is:
+----+-------+---------+-------+-----+
| id | col_1 | col_2 | month | day |
+----+-------+---------+-------+-----+
| 1 | true | 123.123 | 10 | 24 |
| 2 | false | 1243.5 | 10 | 25 |
+----+-------+---------+-------+-----+
Examining contents of table:
The queries for examine the data in the table is given below.
SELECT * FROM tab1;
SELECT * FROM tab2;
SELECT * FROM tab2 LIMIT 5;
Results for that queries:
+----+-------+------------+-------------------------------+
| id | col_1 | col_2 | col_3 |
+----+-------+------------+-------------------------------+
19

| 1 | true | 123.123 | 2012-10-24 08:55:00 |
| 2 | false | 1243.5 | 2012-10-25 13:40:00 |
| 3 | false | 24453.325 | 2008-08-22 09:33:21.123000000 |

| 5 | true | 243.325 | 1953-04-22 09:11:33 |
+----+-------+------------+-------------------------------+
+----+-------+---------------+
| id | col_1 | col_2 |
+----+-------+---------------+
| 1 | true | 12789.123 |
| 2 | false | 1243.5 |
| 3 | false | 24453.325 |
| 4 | false | 2423.3254 |
| 5 | true | 243.325 |
| 60 | false | 243565423.325 |
| 70 | true | 243.325 |
| 80 | false | 243423.325 |

| 4 | false | 2423.3254 |
| 5 | true | 243.325 |
+----+-------+-----------+
Aggregate and join:
Query for aggregate and join is:
20

SELECT tab1.col_1, MAX(tab2.col_2), MIN(tab2.col_2)
FROM tab2 JOIN tab1 USING (id)
GROUP BY col_1 ORDER BY 1 LIMIT 5;
And the result is:
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+
| col_1 | max(tab2.col_2) | min(tab2.col_2) |
+-------+-----------------+-----------------+
| false | 24453.325 | 1243.5 |
| true | 12789.123 | 243.325 |
