Gents, 1. - do you put Master's node <hostname> under fs.default.name in core-site.xml on the slave machines or slaves' hostnames? - do you need to run "sudo -u hdfs hadoop namenode -format" and create /tmp /var folders on the HDFS of the slave machines that will be running only DN and TT or not? Do you still need to create hadoop/dfs/name folder on the slaves?
2. In hdfs-site.xml for dfs.name.dir & dfs.data.dir properties we specify /hadoop/dfs/name /hadoop/dfs/data being local linux NFS directories by running command "mkdir -p /hadoop/dfs/data" but mapred.system.dir property is to point to HDFS and not NFS since we are running "sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -mkdir /tmp/mapred/system"?? If so and since it is exactly the same format /far/boo/baz how does hadoop know which directory is local on NFS or HDFS? Would you please kindly reconfirm.
