Hi, Tricky one. In the past I have used a touch file to test against (if touched file there don't do it - but that is a little insecure).
After the filesystem is formatted I believe you should be able to list it. However when I was using cloudera Hadoop you that could return your local filesystem! So your test would always pass. So maybe a format and touching a file in the hdfs would work? Sorry don't work with Hadoop any more so cant test. You can have a look at the following: https://github.com/denmat/hadoop_in_a_box That was last approach (can't remember how I did it off hand).
