Hi there, I am trying to use ThriftFS to interact with the HDFS. I am getting quite a strange problem. Whenever I try to run src/contrib/thriftfs/scripts/hdfs.py, it seems as if the thrift server is interacting with the local file system rather than the HDFS (I have checked that the HDFS is running). For example when invoke "hdfs>> ls /", it returns the root listing of the local linux file system and not the listing of the HDFS root.
I have a feeling that I am doing something wrong which is pretty basic. Does anyone have an idea? Oh by the way, I run hdfs.py without any arguments. regards, -- Ahmad Humayun Graduate Student Computer Science Dpt., UCL http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/students/A.Humayun/ +44 (0)79 5536 6637
