We are trying to load data into hdfs from one of the slaves and when the put command is run from a slave(datanode) all of the blocks are written to the datanode's hdfs, and not distributed to all of the nodes in the cluster. It does not seem to matter what destination format we use ( /filename vs hdfs://master:9000/filename) it always behaves the same. Conversely, running the same command from the namenode distributes the files across the datanodes.
Is there something I am missing? -Nathan
