I installed hadoop following this tutorial. The code below is what I use to insert a sample file to hdfs.

val configuration = new Configuration();
val hdfs = FileSystem.get( new URI( "hdfs://192.168.11.153:54310" ), configuration );
val file = new Path("hdfs://192.168.11.153:54310/s2013/batch/table.html");
if ( hdfs.exists( file )) { hdfs.delete( file, true ); } 
val os = hdfs.create( file);
val br = new BufferedWriter( new OutputStreamWriter( os, "UTF-8" ) );
br.write("Hello World");
br.close();
hdfs.close();

The Hadoop version is 2.4.0 and hadoop library version I use is 1.2.1. What change should I do to make this work?

Answer 1

I had the same problem using Hadoop 2.3 and I've solved it adding the following lines to my build.sbt file :

libraryDependencies += "org.apache.hadoop" % "hadoop-client" % "2.3.0"

libraryDependencies += "org.apache.hadoop" % "hadoop-hdfs" % "2.3.0"

So I think in your case you case use the 2.4.0 version.

PS: It also worked on your code sample. I hope it will help
