Where HDFS stores files locally by default?

Question

I am running hadoop with default configuration with one-node cluster, and would like to find where HDFS stores files locally.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

As "more recent answer" and to clarify hadoop version numbers:

If you use Hadoop 1.2.1 (or something similar), @Binary Nerd's answer is still true.

But if you use Hadoop 2.1.0-beta (or something similar), you should read the configuration documentation here and the option you want to set is: dfs.datanode.data.dir
