How to set up and configure Kettle for your specific Hadoop distribution.
This page applies to Kettle and BA Suite version 4.4 (suite 4.8) only, for 5.0 go here
The Pentaho applications come pre-configured for Apache Hadoop 0.20.2. If you are using this distro and version, no further configuration is required.
Documentation for configuring Pentaho for distros other than Apache Hadoop 0.20.2 is now located on the Pentaho Infocenter here
Currently supported Hadoop distributions:
Pentaho uses an abstraction layer to facilitate supporting the rapid and never ending distributions version updates. We call this layer a shim. The following list shows the current known support and status of various distributions. We generally do not have to update a shim for a minor or patch version change.
Upgrade your Big Data Plugin to version 1.3.3.1
The Big Data plugin has been updated to version 1.3.3.1 and is available for download.
This upgrade works with PDI 4.4 (Suite 4.8) and is compatible with both EE and CE editions of Pentaho. Additional shims that were not shipped with the updated plugin are available on the Additional Shims download page.
Important information about supported Hadoop versions
Pentaho does not ship all available shims with the product. Shims that support older distributions as well as new ones created after release are available for download. If the note says that a later version of a shim also supports your version, Pentaho recommends using the later version.
