Running Hadoop MapReduce v2 computations using Amazon Elastic MapReduce

Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) provides on-demand managed Hadoop clusters in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud to perform your Hadoop MapReduce computations. EMR uses Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances as the compute resources. EMR supports reading input data from Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and storing of the output data in Amazon S3 as well. EMR takes care of the provisioning of cloud instances, configuring the Hadoop cluster, and the execution of our MapReduce computational flows.

In this recipe, we are going to execute the WordCount MapReduce sample (the Writing a WordCount MapReduce application, bundling it, and running it using the Hadoop local mode ...
