Where to upload hdfs files?

Question

hadoop and hdfs seem to be running for me correctly as when I navigate to

http://127.0.01:50070/dfshealth.jsp I receive this output :

enter image description here

But when I try to run the code

public class firstmapreducedriver {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JobClient client = new JobClient();
        JobConf conf = new JobConf(firstmapreducedriver.class);

        // TODO: specify output types
        conf.setOutputKeyClass(Text.class);
        conf.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);

        // TODO: specify input and output DIRECTORIES (not files)

        conf.setInputFormat(TextInputFormat.class);
        conf.setOutputFormat(TextOutputFormat.class);

        FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(conf, new Path("dfs"));
        FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(conf, new Path("Out"));

        // TODO: specify a mapper
        conf.setMapperClass(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib.IdentityMapper.class);

        // TODO: specify a reducer
        conf.setReducerClass(org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib.IdentityReducer.class);

        client.setConf(conf);
        try {
            JobClient.runJob(conf);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}

I receive this error :

Where can I configure the location of the hdfs files or where do I need to create the dir "dfs" so that it is found ?

In your code, you specified the directories:

    FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(conf, new Path("dfs"));
    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(conf, new Path("Out"));

Any relative path (one that does not start with /) will have a root of /user/$USER. So, you have to make sure that your input path of /user/newuser/dfs exists and has data inside of it. You can execute the following to make the directory and put in files:

hadoop fs -mkdir /user/newuser/dfs
hadoop fs -copyFromLocal localFile.txt /user/newuser/dfs/
