Alluxio can be installed on Vanilla Hadoop or also a distribution like Hortonworks' latest 2.4.

To get started, check out Alluxio's Getting Started Guide.

To use on HDP, you need to edit the /opt/alluxio-1.0.1/conf/alluxio-env.sh after you create it and change the port from 9000 to 8020.

You can also override at the command line:

export
ALLUXIO_UNDERFS_ADDRESS=hdfs://localhost:8020

To setup Alluxio. First download it.
