Referencing Amazon S3 in URIs

By default, files are still placed on the local HDFS and not on S3 if the protocol is not specified in the URI. When you have added the Amazon S3 service, use one of the following options to construct the URIs to reference when submitting jobs:

• Amazon S3:

  s3a://bucket_name/path

• HDFS:

  hdfs://path

  or

  /path
