Hadoop with S3 instead of local storage

[Alok Kumar]

Hi,

Followed instructions from this link for setup
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/AmazonS3.

my "core-site.xml " contains only these 3 properties :
<property>
  <name>fs.default.name</name>
  <value>s3://BUCKET</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>fs.s3.awsAccessKeyId</name>
  <value>ID</value>
</property>

<property>
  <name>fs.s3.awsSecretAccessKey</name>
  <value>SECRET</value>
</property>

hdfs-site.xml is empty!

Namenode log says, its trying to connect to local HDFS not S3.
Am i missing anything?

Regards,
Alok
