If Hadoop can work with it, then sure. For example, the following works since the uris are acceptable by Hadoop:
hadoop distcp hdfs://master:9000/user/hadoop/somefile.txt file:///home/hadoop/abc.def However, doing the above won't ensure it comes back to your machine, instead abc.def would be created on the node the map task ran on, cause that's how file:// is resolved. Just a heads up if you're gonna use that on a non NFS thingy.
