Hi all,

I am a newbie to hadoop, and am setting up a multi-node cluster. I have a trivial question on the HDFS. In the hadoop doc it has a diagram showing the client performs a read/write to the dfs, but it isn't clear to me on how the client will be setup. I assume you will have to install the hadoop binaries, and connect to the namenode (master) to access the dfs, like this:

#  ./hadoop dfs -fs hdfs://<master-hostname>:9000 -ls /

I need to do benchmark on create/read/write operations on hadoop dfs. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks in advance!

-Yun
