Does anyone know any free accessible clusters that are open to public and that use a Hadoop/MapReduce framework? There are plenty of tutorials of how to use MapReduce, but is there a way to test the examples without using my local single machine and installing the required framework?

Thanks!

Amazon EC2 has ready to use Hadoop cluster for per time rent, not very expensive even for play. Other way is to play with Cloudera Hadoop VM http://www.cloudera.com/downloads/virtual-machine/. You can run cluster on several virtual machines.

I will soon have a solution - it's not free, but it is VERY cheap.

I have built a small cluster for training and education (via web access) and will be live in May 2013. I will rent out 4 node cluster for $2 a day or $10 a week.

Since the cluster is not very big, it will handle data sets of only 20-40GB, but will have full web access to run mapreduce, pig scripts.

Whilst I am asking for some money, it's not really a business - just hoping that I can pay the power bills!

You could also use Apache Whirr to deploy your own test cluster on Amazon EC2. This gives you more control than Elastic Map Reduce. It should be cheap if you are using it only to test map reduce jobs for short periods of time.

You can give CloudxLab a try. Though it is not free, it is quite affordable. It provides a complete environment to practice Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, Hive, Pig, HBase, Oozie, Zookeeper, Flume, Sqoop, Mahout, R, Linux, Python, Scala, NumPy, Scipy, scikit-learn etc. You will not have to install or configure any software on your local machine to use CloudxLab. Many of the popular trainers are already using CloudxLab.
