我目前正在通过Jeffery Breen的教程进行工作。当我想与Whirr推出EC2群集时，我会遇到一些麻烦。我使用Cloudera Demo VM CDH3U4。
我下载了Whirr的0.8.1版本
这是我运行的所有命令：
$ wget http://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/apache/dist/whirr/whirr-0.8.1/whirr-0.8.1.tar.gz
$ tar zxf whirr-0.8.0.tar.gz
$ export PATH="~/whirr-0.8.0/bin:$PATH"
$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=MY ACCESS KEY
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=MY SECRET ACCESS KEY
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -P hadoop-ec2
然后，我被问到应该在哪个文件中进行安全检查，然后键入：hadoop-ec2
$ whirr launch-cluster --config hadoop-ec2.properties
...这是问题：没有启动的实例！我收到以下消息：
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationException: Cannot locate configuration source hadoop-ec2.properties
at org.apache.commons.configuration.AbstractFileConfiguration.load(AbstractFileConfiguration.java:249)

at org.apache.whirr.cli.Main.main(Main.java:102)
我接下来做的是将属性文件直接链接到杰弗里·布雷恩在他的教程中发布的文件，然后我得到以下内容：
[cloudera@localhost ~]$ whirr launch-cluster --config /home/cloudera/TutorialBreen/config/whirr-ec2/hadoop-ec2.properties
Running on provider aws-ec2 using identity ${env:AKIAIXPYW6EBNWSZWMTQ}

这是迈向正确方向的一步，如果是，我该怎么办？
我是一个非常初学者，所以我真的很感谢您的帮助，如果可能的话，请尽可能"清晰"，因为我是 - 正如我所说的 - 一个初学者。
下一步将是运行此命令：
$ whirr run-script --script install-r+packages.sh --config hadoop-ec2.properties
我真的希望在这里找到一些帮助，以便我可以继续进行教程。
whirr-config-file：
whirr.cluster-name=hadoop-ec2
# Change the number of machines in the cluster here
whirr.instance-templates=1 hadoop-namenode+hadoop-jobtracker,5 hadoop-datanode+hadoop-tasktracker
# whirr.instance-templates=1 hadoop-namenode+hadoop-jobtracker,1 hadoop-datanode+hadoop-tasktracker
# Uncomment out these lines to run CDH
# You need cdh3 because of the streaming combiner backport
whirr.hadoop.install-function=install_cdh_hadoop
whirr.hadoop.configure-function=configure_cdh_hadoop
# make sure java is set up correctly, requires Whirr >= 0.7.1
whirr.java.install-function=install_oab_java
# For EC2 set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables.
whirr.provider=aws-ec2
whirr.identity=${env:DFD...(mycode)..DFDSDF}
whirr.credential=${env:df342.(mycode)..3434324}
# The size of the instance to use. See http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/
whirr.hardware-id=m1.large
# whirr.hardware-id=c1.xlarge
# select recent, 64-bit CentOS 5.6 AMI from RightScale
whirr.image-id=us-east-1/ami-49e32320
# here's what Cloudera recommends:
# whirr.image-id=us-east-1/ami-ccb35ea5
# If you choose a different location, make sure whirr.image-id is updated too
whirr.location-id=us-east-1
# You can also specify the spot instance price
# http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/spot-instances/
# whirr.aws-ec2-spot-price=0.109
# By default use the user system SSH keys. Override them here.
# whirr.private-key-file=${sys:user.home}/.ssh/id_rsa
# whirr.public-key-file=${sys:user.home}/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
# Expert: override Hadoop properties by setting properties with the prefix
# hadoop-common, hadoop-hdfs, hadoop-mapreduce to set Common, HDFS, MapReduce
# site properties, respectively. The prefix is removed by Whirr, so that for
# example, setting
# hadoop-common.fs.trash.interval=1440
# will result in fs.trash.interval being set to 1440 in core-site.xml.
# Expert: specify the version of Hadoop to install.
#whirr.hadoop.version=0.20.2
#whirr.hadoop.tarball.url=http://archive.apache.org/dist/hadoop/core/hadoop-${whirr.hadoop.version}/hadoop-${whirr.hadoop.version}.tar.gz
是的，删除 #
在这里示例：
whirr.private−key−file=${sys:user.home}/.ssh/whirr_id_rsa
whirr.public−key−file=${sys:user.home}/.ssh/whirr_id_rsa.pub
用您的文件名repalce whirr_id_rsa。更多详细信息：
