The document outlines the steps to set up a Hadoop cluster and run a MapReduce job across the cluster. It describes cloning Hadoop from the master node to two slave nodes, configuring settings like the hosts file and SSH keys for access. The document then details formatting the HDFS, starting services on all nodes, importing data and running a sample MapReduce word count job on the cluster. Finally, it discusses stopping the Hadoop services on all nodes to shut down the cluster.
