# chirp\_server\_hdfs(1)

run a chirp server with HDFS client setup

## NAME

**chirp\_server\_hdfs** - run a chirp server with HDFS client setup

## SYNOPSIS

FCchirp\_server\_hdfs \[options\]FT

## DESCRIPTION

HDFS is the primary distributed filesystem used in the Hadoop project. FCchirp\_server\_hdfsFT enables running FCchirp\_serverFT with the proper environment variables set for using accessing HDFS. The command requires that the FCJAVA\_HOMEFT and FCHADOOP\_HOMEFT environment variables be defined. Once the environment is setup, the Chirp server will execute using HDFS as the backend filesystem for all filesystem access.

For complete details with examples, see the Chirp User's Manual (**http://ccl.cse.nd.edu/software/manuals/chirp.html**).

## OPTIONS

See **[chirp\_server(1)](/chirp_server/1.md)** for option listing.

## ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

- •

  FCJAVA\_HOMEFT Location of your Java installation.

- •

  FCHADOOP\_HOMEFT Location of your Hadoop installation.

## EXIT STATUS

On success, returns zero.  On failure, returns non-zero.

## EXAMPLES

To start a Chirp server with a HDFS backend filesystem:

```

```

-

  % chirp\_server\_hdfs -r hdfs://host:port/foo/bar
