Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg disk image file as another disk in your system."

A block of code is set as follows:

export HADOOP_CONF_DIR="${HADOOP_CONF_DIR:-$YARN_HOME/etc/hadoop}"
export HADOOP_COMMON_HOME="${HADOOP_COMMON_HOME:-$YARN_HOME}"
export HADOOP_HDFS_HOME="${HADOOP_HDFS_HOME:-$YARN_HOME}"  

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

$ hadoop fs -cat /tmp/output-7/part* NewDelhi, 440
