Amazon Elastic MapReduce Upgrades to Hadoop 0.20.205, Pig 0.9.1, AMI Versioning, and Amazon VPC
Starting today you can run your job flows using Hadoop 0.20.205 and Pig 0.9.1. To simplify the upgrade process, we have also introduced the concept of AMI versions. You can now provide a specific AMI version to use at job flow launch or specify that you would like to use our “latest” AMI, ensuring that you are always using our most up-to-date features. The following AMI versions are now available:
- Version 2.0: Hadoop 0.20.205, Hive 0.7.1, Pig 0.9.1, Debian 6.0.2 (Squeeze)
- Version 1.0: Hadoop 0.18.3 and 0.20.2, Hive 0.5 and 0.7.1, Pig 0.3 and 0.6, Debian 5.0 (Lenny)
Amazon Elastic MapReduce is the perfect solution for:
- learning and experimenting with Hadoop
- running huge processing jobs in cases where your company doesn’t already have the necessary resources
