Installing hadoop development cluster on Windows and Eclipse -- Introduction
Hadoop & HDFS on Windows here for all the non-Linux types. Of course, this is missing all the Hive/Pig/etc goodness and the Cloudera configuration.
This tutorial describes how to set up such a cluster on a computer running Microsoft Windows. It also describes how to integrate this cluster with Eclipse, a prime Java development environment.

How-to install R on CentOS « /home/kOoLiNuS
Once you get your Hadoop cluster setup, you’ll probably want R. Here’s how to install it.
A not so christmas-connected topid today as I’m going to write down a few lines on how-to install the open source statistical tool and relative developement libraries R on CentOS release 4 and 5.
CentOS 5 - Networking Support - Setting up a folder share using Likewise over an Active Directory Network
You may want to access your CentOS VM using a file share at one point. Here’s how.
I'm making a shift from Ubuntu to CentOS 5. Things are obviously quite a bit different between the two, as I've discovered. I'd appreciate some input as I make the shift.
The first problem (and hopefully easiest) is designating a folder to be shared. In Ubuntu it was as easy as right-clicking a folder and click Share Folder. I need to learn what the method is for CentOS, either via the GUI or otherwise.
Cloudera–VM Setup to spin up some Cloud Computing Power
Cloudera provides a demo VM for download, to try out Hadoop, Hive, and those other friendly Zoo animals.
If you’re trying to get the VM setup on Windows in Oracle VirtualBox
With the VM powered off, click on ... the VM Name->Details-tab>General-> Advanced tab .. and select the checkbox "Enable IO APIC".
Power on the VM.. and that should at least get you and running.

Fix permissions to run Hadoop jobs:
cd /var/lib/hadoop-0.20/cache/cloudera/
chmod 777 .
Hop right into Beehive with Cloudera/Cloudera userid/pw and try out the samples.

RenderMan in the cloud
I remember working on some rendered video back in the 90s. A single 30 second scene could take days to render at 25fps. This should bring the time down quite a lot.
EMERYVILLE, CA – (January 19th, 2012) Pixar Animation Studios today launched a new cloud rendering service called "RenderMan® On Demand™." Developed in collaboration with pioneering cloud services provider GreenButton, this service is now available on Microsoft's Windows® Azure with Linux availability following later in 2012. "RenderMan On Demand" offers nearly instantaneous burst rendering access to hundreds and even thousands of additional cores, enabling artists and studios to deliver the highest-quality cinematic imagery with unprecedented economy and efficiency."
