             Summary: Log better message when Hadoop configuration files are 
not found
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1973
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1973
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.5.0
            Reporter: Josh Elser
             Fix For: 1.4.5, 1.5.1, 1.6.0


I keep running into this -- with the introduction of Hadoop-2 into the 
configuration, if you don't properly set HADOOP_CONF_DIR, you'll get the 
"default" instance.dfs.uri (I believe) which will (almost) always not work out 
for you.

You get a strange stack trace around ChecksumFileSystem or FilterFileSystem, 
but the underlying problem is that your configuration is likely pointing at the 
wrong configuration directory for Hadoop ($HADOOP_PREFIX/conf instead of 
$HADOOP_PREFIX/etc/hadoop, or vice versa).

We should be able to do something that makes this more intuitive to new-comers 
with printing error messages.
