Are you sure you were using 0.19 not 0.20 ? For 0.17 please check that configuration file hadoop-site.xml exists in your configuration directory is not empty and points to hdfs rather than local file system, which it does buy default. In 0.17 all config variables have been in a common file. 0.19 was the same. 0.20 changed it so now we have hdfs-site.xml, core-site.xml, mapred-site.xml See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4631
Hope this helps. --Konstantin Shyam Sarkar wrote:
Hello, I am trying to understand the clustering inside 0.17.2.1 as opposed to 0.19.0 versions. I am trying to create a directory inside 0.17.2.1 HDFS but it creates in Linux FS. However, I can do that in 0.19.0 without any problem. Can someone suggest what should I do for 0.17.2.1 so that I can create directory in HDFS? Thanks, shyam.s.sar...@gmail.com
