This is on a EMR cluster. This does not work! hadoop@ip-10-34-7-51:~$ hadoop dfs -mkdir hdfs://10.34.7.51:9000/user/foobar mkdir: This file system object (hdfs://ip-10-34-7-51.ec2.internal:9000) does not support access to the request path 'hdfs://10.34.7.51:9000/user/foobar' You possibly called FileSystem.get(conf) when you should have called FileSystem.get(uri, conf) to obtain a file system supporting your path. Usage: java FsShell [-mkdir <path>]
