Hadoop DFSClient installation

I run Hadoop cluster and I'm interested to install one more machine with DFSClient only.

This machine (lets call it machine X) will not be a part of the cluster.

Machine X will run DFSClient and I should be able to see HDFS from it.

In order to install DFSClient, I copied Hadoop home directory from one of cluster's node to machine X (including .jar files and configuration).

Then I run:

hadoop fs -ls /

I get the local ROOT directory (not HDFS ROOT).

What am I doing wrong?

Technically it should work if the following steps are done

  • If you have copied the configuration files(*.xml) from the hadoop cluster.
  • HADOOP_HOME set with the copied hadoop path.
  • Machine X should have access to the cluster network

Copy hdfs-site.xml and place in a folder under your local linux account home dir. Then ensure that your name node (default.fs.name) is pointing to the remote namenode. Then try hadoop --config <your_config_folder> fs -ls / where your_config_folder is where you placed your hdfs-site.xml.
