How to build on macosx

Install go and hg using brew

brew install go
brew install hg

Set GOPATH and add go to PATH

mkdir ~/go

echo 'export GOPATH=~/go' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/go/libexec/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile

Build hdfs

cd ~/go

go get github.com/colinmarc/hdfs

cd src/github.com/colinmarc/hdfs
make install

Test

The executive should be in ~/go/bin

hdfs ls -la /

Set namenode

We use cdh5 so I put this into my ~/.bash_profile

export HADOOP_NAMENODE=hdfs_node.company.com:8020
