Specify which Hadoop cluster configuration to use. You can specify information like host names and ports for HDFS, Job Tracker, and other big data cluster components through the Hadoop Cluster configuration dialog box. Click Edit to edit an existing cluster configuration in the dialog box, or click New to create a new configuration with the dialog box. Once created, Hadoop cluster configurations settings can be reused by other transformation steps and job entries.
