Question

I have created Windows azure VM and also installed HADOOP in it. Now I want to access HDFS by using URL from my local machine so that i can perform read and write operation. Please guide me the steps to perform this task. Thanks in Advance.

As @GauravMantri has mentioned in the comment, Azure disable the ICMP for security reasons.

To verify if a service running on azure VM is reachable, please use a port detector. On Windows platform, we can use the Port Query . If you are using Linux, then please try nmap.

BTW, if you can ping a machine, it only means that you have a routable path to the destination computer and its TCP/IP stack works. The port detector is more accurate when you try to check if a service is reachable from the client.

Now I want to access HDFS by using URL from my local machine so that i can perform read and write operation.

If you are using Azure Classic VM, then you should configure the endpoint to allow the access to HADOOP service.

If you are using the Azure Resource Manager VM, then you should configure the inbound rules of NSG to allow the access to HADOOP service.
