I installed my test cluster using Cloudera Manager free. I can only browse the filesystem from the main NameNode. When running hadoop dfs -ls only shows the local folder. JPS shows the Jps, TaskTracker, DataNode on the nodes. MapReduce tasks/jobs run fine on all the nodes as a cluster.
With my custom setup Hadoop cluster (without Cloudera), I can easily browse and manipulate the hdfs filesystem (eg. I can run hadoop dfs -mkdir test1 on all the nodes - but only on the NameNode in CDH4)
why is this?
