title: Running with Cloudera and HortonWorks Distributions
---
Spark can run against all versions of Cloudera's Distribution Including Hadoop (CDH) and
the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP). There are a few things to keep in mind when using Spark with
these distributions:
# Compile-time Hadoop Version
When compiling Spark, you'll need to
[set the HADOOP_VERSION flag](http://localhost:4000/index.html#a-note-about-hadoop-versions):
HADOOP_VERSION=1.0.4 sbt/sbt assembly
The table below lists the corresponding HADOOP_VERSION for each CDH/HDP release. Note that
some Hadoop releases are binary compatible across client versions. This means the pre-built Spark
distribution may "just work" without you needing to compile. That said, we recommend compiling with
the _exact_ Hadoop version you are running to avoid any compatibility errors.

# Where to Run Spark
As described in the [Hardware Provisioning](hardware-provisioning.html#storage-systems) guide,
Spark can run in a variety of deployment modes:
* Using dedicated set of Spark nodes in your cluster. These nodes should be co-located with your
Hadoop installation.
* Running on the same nodes as an existing Hadoop installation, with a fixed amount memory and
cores dedicated to Spark on each node.
* Run Spark alongside Hadoop using a cluster resource manager, such as YARN or Mesos.
These options are identical for those using CDH and HDP. Note that if you have a YARN cluster,
but still prefer to run Spark on a dedicated set of nodes rather than scheduling through YARN,
use `mr1` versions of HADOOP_HOME when compiling.
# Inheriting Cluster Configuration
If you plan to read and write from HDFS using Spark, there are two Hadoop configuration files that
should be included on Spark's classpath:
* `hdfs-site.xml`, which provides default behaviors for the HDFS client.
* `core-site.xml`, which sets the default filesystem name.
The location of these configuration files varies across CDH and HDP versions, but
a common location is inside of `/etc/hadoop/conf`. Some tools, such as Cloudera Manager, create
configurations on-the-fly, but offer a mechanisms to download copies of them.
There are a few ways to make these files visible to Spark:
* You can copy these files into `$SPARK_HOME/conf` and they will be included in Spark's
classpath automatically.
* If you are running Spark on the same nodes as Hadoop _and_ your distribution includes both
`hdfs-site.xml` and `core-site.xml` in the same directory, you can set `HADOOP_CONF_DIR`
in `$SPARK_HOME/spark-env.sh` to that directory.
