So I installed Hadoop via Cloudera Manager cdh3u5 on CentOS 5. When I run cmd

hadoop fs -ls /

I expected to see the contents of hdfs://localhost.localdomain:8020/

However, it had returned the contents of file:///

Now, this goes without saying that I can access my hdfs:// through

hadoop fs -ls hdfs://localhost.localdomain:8020/

But when it came to installing other applications such as Accumulo, accumulo would automatically detect Hadoop Filesystem in file:///

Question is, has anyone ran into this issue and how did you resolve it?

I had a look at HDFS thrift server returns content of local FS, not HDFS , which was a similar issue, but did not solve this issue.
Also, I do not get this issue with Cloudera Manager cdh4.

    By default, Hadoop is going to use local mode. You probably need to set fs.default.name to hdfs://localhost.localdomain:8020/ in $HADOOP_HOME/conf/core-site.xml.

    To do this, you add this to core-site.xml:

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

    The reason why Accumulo is confused is because it’s using the same default configuration to figure out where HDFS is… and it’s defaulting to file://
