Varun, I tried what you suggested and I am still having the same problem:
hduser@master:/usr/local/hadoop-1.0.3/conf$ tail /var/log/hadoop/hduser/hadoop-hduser-secondarynamenode-master.out Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Does not contain a valid host:port authority: file:/// at org.apache.hadoop.net.NetUtils.createSocketAddr(NetUtils.java:162) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode.getAddress(NameNode.java:198) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode.getAddress(NameNode.java:228) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode.getServiceAddress(NameNode.java:222) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.SecondaryNameNode.initialize(SecondaryNameNode.java:161) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.SecondaryNameNode.<init>(SecondaryNameNode.java:129) at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.SecondaryNameNode.main(SecondaryNameNode.java:567) hduser@master:/usr/local/hadoop-1.0.3/conf$ hduser@master:/usr/local/hadoop-1.0.3/conf$ cat core-site.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?> <!-- Put site-specific property overrides in this file. --> <configuration> <property> <name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name> <value>/home/hduser/tmp</value> <description>A base for other temporary directories.</description> </property> <property> <name>fs.default.name</name> <!-- The instructions in http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/running-hadoop-on-ubuntu-linux-single-node-cluster/#conf-site-xml says that the value should be hdfs://localhost:54310 however I got an answer on the hadoop mailing list that said to explicitly name the host --> <value>hdfs://master:54310</value> <description>The name of the default file system.

I think the problem is that somewhere I have URL that is in the form file:// instead of hdfs://. I have done some fgrep'ing and I see several possibilities, but nothing jumps out at me.
