It sounds like you don't have the same configuration on this new machine and on the cluster. You probably want to talk with the group that runs the cluster so that they can give you the proper configuration. There are also some groups that try to lock down access to the cluster with ACLs, so it is best to talk to them so that they can help you do this properly.

I want to put files from a machine that is not in the cluster, and It only has the hadoop client, I thought that it was possible with this: hadoop fs -copyFromLocal myfile hdfs:///x.x.x.x:8020 but It always returns this: 12/06/27 17:38:33 INFO ipc.Client: Retrying connect to server: localhost/127.0.0.1:8020 <http://127.0.0.1:8020> . Already tried 0 time(s). Why is it trying to connect to localhost? Thanks
