Hadoop create file in java throws exception: Mkdirs failed to create

Question

I'm trying to create a file in Hadoop using Java client (just a test case). The exception below was thrown:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Mkdirs failed to create /app2/speed (exists=false, cwd=file:/home/cpu-local/NetBeansProjects/hdoops) 
    at org.apache.hadoop.fs.ChecksumFileSystem.create(ChecksumFileSystem.java:450)

If local, you try to run `mkdir /app2/speed` in your regular Terminal, and it'll likely fail with permission denied because you're making a root directory — OneCricketeer, Jul 18 '17 at 12:26

Becase of failing in create FileSystem through java client, all you need is setting your java client appropriate the hadoop configuration (in file config).

Configuration hadoopConfig = new Configuration();
hadoopConfig.set("fs.defaultFS", "hdfs://localhost:9000/");
hadoopConfig.set("fs.hdfs.impl", org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem.class.getName());
hadoopConfig.set("fs.file.impl", org.apache.hadoop.fs.LocalFileSystem.class.getName());
