Thanks for the information,

Now I am trying to install hadoop dfs using 2 nodes. A namenode cum datanode, 
and a separate data node. I use the following configuration for my hdfs-site.xml

<configuration>

  <property>
    <name>fs.default.name</name>
    <value>localhost:9000</value>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>dfs.data.dir</name>
    <value>/home/bala/data</value>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>dfs.name.dir</name>
    <value>/home/bala/name</value>
  </property>
</configuration>


In namenode, I have added the datanode hostnames (machine1 and machine2).
When I do 'start-all.sh', I see the log that the data node is starting in both 
the machines but I went to the browser in the namenode, I see only one live 
node. (That is the namenode which is configured as datanode)

Any hint here will help me


With regards
Bala

You can be able to use Hdfs alone in the distributed mode to fulfill your 
requirement.
Hdfs has the Filesystem java api through which you can interact with the HDFS 
from your client.
HDFS is good if you have less number of files with huge size rather than you 
having many files with small size.

Hi,

I am new to hdfs. In my java application, I need to perform 'similar operation' 
over large number of files. I would like to store those files in distributed 
machines. I don't think, I will need map reduce paradigm. But however I would 
like to use HDFS for file storage and access. Is it possible (or nice idea) to 
use HDFS as a stand alone stuff? And, java APIs are available to work with HDFS 
so that I can read/write in distributed environment ? Any thoughts here will be 
helpful.


With thanks and regards
