instance.dfs.dir created on local fs instead of in hdfs

[Chris Sigman <cy...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I've tried initializing accumulo, and everything seems to work without
issue, however the instance.dfs.dir directory is getting created
locally instead of in HDFS.  Here's the output from running init:

2013-01-14 12:40:52,803 [util.Initialize] INFO : Hadoop Filesystem is file:///

Re: instance.dfs.dir created on local fs instead of in hdfs

Accumulo pulls the hdfs uri out of the core-site.xml in $HADOOP_HOME/conf.
If you have HADOOP_HOME (or $HADOOP_CONF_DIR) pointing to an empty install,
it will use that configuration, which happens to define fs.default.name as
file:///, which is the local disk. Make sure you're setting up HADOOP_HOME
correctly in your accumulo-env.sh, and make sure you have hadoop set up
correctly as well.
