You can install OpenJdk, but either way we need Java to get Hadoop working

apologies shobhan, i didnt elaborate it. for the framework, you said during the class session that we need either java, python or similar languages for mapreduce. is there any language apart from java, python that can be used for the same purpose

hi Rajesh,

You can use other languages such as C++, Python, Ruby and others to create programs and execute using hadoop streamin API.

Thanks
