Hadoop Installation Issue on Windows
Looks like this is the main error you're getting is:
ERROR common.Util: Syntax error in URI F:\hadoop-2.7.2\data\namenode.
You've specified it as:
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.name.dir</name>
<value>F:\hadoop-2.7.2\data\namenode</value>
</property>
Perhaps the first thing to try is using the same format as the blog (forward slashes):
F:/hadoop-2.7.2/data/namenode
If that doesnt help you can try making it a valid URI:
file:///f:/hadoop-2.7.2/data/namenode
Kinda late, but for future reference.
My problem was that I copy pasted the hdfs-site.xml from the tutorial and a special character,probably newline, was added in this line
<property><name>dfs.namenode.name.dir</name><value>/hadoop-
2.6.0/data/name</value><final>true</final></property>
so just go and delete it
<property>
<name>dfs.namenode.name.dir</name><value>/hadoop-2.6.0/data/name</value><final>true</final>
</property>
this sort of installation problems are the worst...they just discourage you so much
