Yes.

You need to set it to your namenode directory. By default it's file:///tmp/hadoop-${user.name}/dfs/name. Environment variable won't work here. So you need to explicitly set a path name.

Is the issue of the value of ${HADOOP_NN_DIR}  ? I do not find it is defined in 
somewhere.

Thanks,

What is your dfs.namenode.name.dir configured to, in hdfs-site.xml?
