I see the following paragraphs in the wiki ( http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HadoopDfsReadWriteExample)<http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HadoopDfsReadWriteExample>
>Create a [image: [WWW]] FileSystem<http://hadoop.apache.org/core/api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html>instance by passing a new Configuration object. Please note that the following example code assumes that the >Configuration object will automatically load the *hadoop-default.xml* and *hadoop-site.xml*configuration files. You may need to explicitly add these resource paths if you are not running inside of the Hadoop runtime environment. and > Configuration conf = new Configuration(); > FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(conf); When I do Path[] apples = fs.globPaths(new Path("*")); for(Path apple : apples) { System.out.println(apple); } It prints out all the local file names. How do I point my application to running HDFS instance? What does "explicitly add these resource paths if you are not running inside of the Hadoop runtime environment." mean? Thanks, - CEG
