how to show the hdfs root directory in hadoop?

I worked with hadoop 2.8.1, according to some reference( a lot of book and other online forum) that tell me where I could use 'hadoop fs -ls / ' to find the hdfs file system root. but while I type that command, the terminal show the local directory but not hdfs root.

what's wrong with this, thanks in advance.

If you can execute hadoop version command and it returns correct information, it means that Hadoop was installed good.

I think there might be a problem with HDFS configuration. Try this:

  1. Locate core-site.xml file in your local file system. It should be located in /etc/hadoop/conf directory.

  2. Open core-site.xml file and locate this property:

    <property>
     <name>fs.defaultFS</name>
     <value>hdfs://<name-of-your-host>:8020</value>
     <final>true</final>
</property>
  3. I suppose name parameter is wrong. You have to identify the address on which HDFS is running and update it in core-site.xml.
