1.Prerequisites
1.1 Configure single nodes
Use my tutorial "Running Hadoop with HBase On CentOS Linux (Single-Node Cluster)"
1.2 SSH public access
Add mapping to /etc/hosts for each your nodes:
10.1.0.55 master
10.1.0.56 slave
To do that you need to add public key from master to slave ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and via verse, so eventually tou should be able to do the following:
[root@37 /usr/local/bin/hbase]ssh master
The authenticity of host 'master (10.1.0.55)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 09:e2:73:ac:6f:42:d1:da:13:20:76:10:36:29:c4:62.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'master,10.1.0.55' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
Last login: Thu Dec 25 07:19:16 2008 from slave
[root@37 ~]exit
logout
Connection to master closed.
[root@37 /usr/local/bin/hbase]ssh slave
The authenticity of host 'slave (10.1.0.56)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 5c:4f:81:19:ad:f3:78:02:ce:64:f1:67:10:ca:c5:b8.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

2.Cluster Overview
The master node will also act as a slave because we only have two machines available in our cluster but still want to spread data storage and processing to multiple machines. 
The master node will run the "master" daemons for each layer: namenode for the HDFS storage layer, and jobtracker for the MapReduce processing layer. Both machines will run the "slave" daemons: datanode for the HDFS layer, and tasktracker for MapReduce processing layer. Basically, the "master" daemons are responsible for coordination and management of the "slave" daemons while the latter will do the actual data storage and data processing work.
3. Hadoop core Configuration
3.1 conf/masters (master only)
The conf/masters file defines the master nodes of our multi-node cluster.
On master, update $HADOOP_HOME/conf/masters that it looks like this:
master
3.2 conf/slaves (master only)
This conf/slaves file lists the hosts, one per line, where the Hadoop slave daemons (datanodes and tasktrackers) will run. We want both the master box and the slave box to act as Hadoop slaves because we want both of them to store and process data.
On master, update $HADOOP_HOME/conf/slaves that it looks like this:
master
slave
If you have additional slave nodes, just add them to the conf/slaves file, one per line (do this on all machines in the cluster).
master
slave
slave01
slave02
slave03
3.3 conf/hadoop-site.xml (all machines)
Following a sample configuration for all hosts, explanation of all parameters
link
hadoop.tmp.dir
/usr/local/bin/hadoop/datastore/hadoop-${user.name}
A base for other temporary directories.
fs.default.name
hdfs://master:54310
The name of the default file system. A URI whose
scheme and authority determine the FileSystem implementation. The
uri's scheme determines the config property (fs.SCHEME.impl) naming
the FileSystem implementation class. The uri's authority is used to
determine the host, port, etc. for a filesystem.
mapred.job.tracker
master:54311
The host and port that the MapReduce job tracker runs
at. If "local", then jobs are run in-process as a single map
and reduce task.
dfs.replication
1
Default block replication.
The actual number of replications can be specified when the file is created.
The default is used if replication is not specified in create time.
mapred.reduce.tasks
8
The default number of reduce tasks per job. Typically set
to a prime close to the number of available hosts. Ignored when
mapred.job.tracker is "local".
mapred.tasktracker.reduce.tasks.maximum
8
The maximum number of reduce tasks that will be run
simultaneously by a task tracker.
mapred.child.java.opts
-Xmx500m
Java opts for the task tracker child processes.
The following symbol, if present, will be interpolated: @taskid@ is replaced
by current TaskID. Any other occurrences of '@' will go unchanged.
For example, to enable verbose gc logging to a file named for the taskid in
/tmp and to set the heap maximum to be a gigabyte, pass a 'value' of:
-Xmx1024m -verbose:gc -Xloggc:/tmp/@taskid@.gc
The configuration variable mapred.child.ulimit can be used to control the
maximum virtual memory of the child processes.
Very important: now format each node data storage before proceeding.
3.4 Start/Stop Hadoop cluster
HDFS daemons: start/stop namenode command bin/start-dfs.sh or
bin/stop-dfs.shMapReduce daemons: run the command $HADOOP_HOME/bin/start-mapred.sh on the machine you want the jobtracker to run on. This will bring up the MapReduce cluster with the jobtracker running on the machine you ran the previous command on, and tasktrackers on the machines listed in the conf/slaves file.
