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
