I have Homebrew 1.3.1 I want to install hadoop 2.7 but brew is installing hadoop 2.8 version. I tried brew versions, which is not available anymore. brew tap homebrew/version, which is now deprecated.

In previous brew version, we were able to use brew tap homebrew/boneyard and then brew versions work. But, now even from homebrew/boneyard the versions command is removed.

Would we good to know the direct command for homebrew to run and install hadoop 2.7.4

(@bfontaine its not a duplicate question as that answer is 6 years ago and no longer works)

You can try running 

brew list --versions hadoop

to see if you have previous versions and you can switch to it by running

brew switch hadoop 2.7.4

There is 

brew install <package_name>@<version>

Unfortunately it seems hadoop and many other packages haven't set it up to be possible to download the older version and I haven't found out a way to do it.

As I am writing this, there is a version 2.7.7 of hadoop here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/hadoop/common/

You can use 'brew edit hadoop' to refer to that version directly, and then run 'brew install hadoop'.

  • thanks! @jon This approach really helped but for a different version. How to revert back to make it point to the latest after installation? – DileepGogula Jan 12 '20 at 14:52
