title: Hadoop DFS is pointing to current directory
body: <p>A few months ago, we installed CLoudera Hadoop 3 in our local machine and everything was fine. Recently we also installed Whirr to start working with clusters. Although we faced some problems, after a while, we can start up a cluster, log into its master node and commence work. However, I found out recently that when I type:</p>
  
  <p>hadoop dfs -ls</p>
  
  <p>into our local machine, it now displays everything in the current directory I am in, not the contents of the DFS. This didn't use to happen, so we are thinking something got messed up when we installed Whirr.</p>
  
  <p>What could have caused this, and more importantly, how can we get our local hadoop dfs to point to the correct location?</p>
