+title: Using Spark's "Hadoop Free" Build
+---
+
+Spark uses Hadoop client libraries for HDFS and YARN. Starting in version Spark 1.4, the project packages "Hadoop free" builds that lets you more easily connect a single Spark binary to any Hadoop version. To use these builds, you need to modify `SPARK_DIST_CLASSPATH` to include Hadoop's package jars. The most convenient place to do this is by adding an entry in `conf/spark-env.sh`.
+
+This page describes how to connect Spark to Hadoop for different types of distributions.
+
+# Apache Hadoop
+For Apache distributions, you can use Hadoop's 'classpath' command. For instance:
+
+{% highlight bash %}
+### in conf/spark-env.sh ###
+
+# If 'hadoop' binary is on your PATH
+export SPARK_DIST_CLASSPATH=$(hadoop classpath)
+
+# With explicit path to 'hadoop' binary
+export SPARK_DIST_CLASSPATH=$(/path/to/hadoop/bin/hadoop classpath)
+
+# Passing a Hadoop configuration directory
+export SPARK_DIST_CLASSPATH=$(hadoop classpath --config /path/to/configs)
+
+{% endhighlight %}
