Description

A dist built from trunk (0.24.0-SNAPSHOT) does not contain a core-site.xml in $HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop/ folder.

$HADOOP_HOME/sbin/start-dfs.sh without that folder gives an exception
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component
at java.io.File.<init>(File.java:368)
at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NNStorage.getStorageDirectory(NNStorage.java:310)
at org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.FSEditLog.init(FSEditLog.java:178)
...

Manually creating $HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop/core-site.xml solves this problem and hadoop starts fine.
