Hadoop - Pseudo-Distributed Operation - hadoop

Question

I am trying to copy a file quangle.txt from my localsystem to Hadoop using the command below:
testuser#ubuntu:~/Downloads/hadoop/bin$ ./hadoop fs -copyFromLocal Desktop/quangle.txt hdfs://localhost/testuser/quangle.txt

copyFromLocal: Call to localhost/127.0.0.1:8020 failed on connection exception: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
I tried to ping 127.0.0.1 and I got the response. Please advice

Answer 1

just add correct port to the filepath after localhost:
hdfs://localhost:9000/testuser/quangle.txt

Answer 2

Looks like your Name node isn't running - try running the jps cmd and see if NameNode is listed in the running services (or you might have to run ps axww | grep NameNode if the NameNode was started by/under a different user)
Does sudo netstat -atnp | grep 8020 yield any results?
If the Name Node is refusing to start then copy in your Name Node logs into to your original question (or post a new question - after searching for the error first of all to see if someone else has had this problem)

Answer 3

Try running jps to see the currently running Java processes.
Are all Hadoop processes running, especially the Namemode?
If yes, you should get this output (with different process ids):
10015 JobTracker
9670 TaskTracker
9485 DataNode
10380 Jps
9574 SecondaryNameNode
9843 NameNode

Answer 4

I think you can use hadoop fs -put ~/Desktop/quangle.txt /testuser, after copied, you can look up it via hadoop fs -ls /testuser in the /testuser directory

Answer 5

you create Desktop and others with the command hadoop fs -mkdir testuser and then try, it worked for me that way

Answer 6

Maybe there is something wrong with your setting for Pseudodistributed Mode.
It should be configured in this order:
fill up the configuration files:core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml,
mapred-site.xml, yar-site.xml.
Configuring SSH
Formatting the
HDFS filesystem
Starting and stopping the daemons
