Files for Configuring HDFS in Hadoop 2 2 0

Question

I am new to Hadoop and I am installing Hadoop 2.2.0 single node. I have already downloaded the Hadoop file and extracted it. Now I am configuring Hadoop, but I am completely confused.

hdfs-site.xml is present in etc/hadoop directory but it doesn’t contain anything.

core-default.xml is also a doc file

So, can anyone help me out in figuring what are the files which I have to edit?

Answer 1

By default these Hadoop configuration files are found in hadoop/conf directory.

For configuring HDFS you have to edit core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml files.

core-site.xml:

<property>
  <name>fs.default.name</name>
  <value>hdfs://localhost:8020</value>
</property>

In hdfs-site.xml:

<property>
    <name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
    <value>/directory/</value>
</property>
