Hi, I am running hadoop 0.15.3 on 2 EC2 instances from a public ami ( ami-381df851) . Our input files are on S3. When I try to do a distcp for an Input file from S3 onto hdfs on EC2, the copy fails with an error that the file does not exist. However, if I run copyToLocal from S3 onto local machine, the copy succeeds, confirming that the input file does exist on S3 bucket. Furthermore, I can see the Input file on S3 bucket from Mozilla S3 Firefox organizer as well. I am left with no explanation as to why I am getting the File Not Found error on S3 when I have every confirmation that the file does exist over there. Just to make sure that I am specifying the parameters correctly : > bin/hadoop distcp s3//<id>:<secret>@<bucket>/fileone.txt /somefolder_on_hdfs/fileone.txt : Fails - Input source doesnt exist. > bin/hadoop fs -copyToLocal s3://<id>:<secret>@bucket/fileone.txt /somefolder_on_local/fileone.txt : succeeds Any correction? Thanks.
