Errors accessing hdfs while in local mode

[Chris DuBois]

Hi all,

When I try setMaster("local"), I get FileNotFound exceptions; without using
setMaster my application is able to properly find my datasets at
hdfs://[masterip]/data/blah.csv. Is there some other setting that I need to
change in order to try running in local mode?

I am running from the ec2 launch script.

Thanks,
Chris
