Hey Folks,

I am seeing a very weird problem in FileSystem.get(Configuration).

I want to get a FileSystem given the configuration, so I am using

      Configuration conf = new Configuration();

     _fs = FileSystem.get(conf);
The problem is I am getting LocalFileSystem on some machines and Distributed
on others. I am printing conf.get("fs.default.name") at all places and
It returns the right HDFS value 'hdfs://dummy:9000'

My expectation is looking at fs.default.name if it is hdfs:// it should give
me a DistributedFileSystem always.

Each node reads its own conf files (mapred-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml etc.)
Make sure your configs are consistent on all nodes across entire cluster and
are pointing to correct fs.

Hope it helps,
Ashutosh

This code is not map/reduce code and run only on single machine and
Also each node prints the right value for "fs.default.name" so it is
Reading the right configuration file too .. The issue looks like use of
CACHE in filesystem and someplace my code is setting up a wrong value
If that is possible.

Bhupesh: If you use FileSystem.newInstance(), does that return the correct
object type? This sidesteps CACHE.
