Description

ViewFS Doc - https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/ViewFs.html specifies the view name as clusterX where as mount table name as ClusterX. This will lead to error "ls: ViewFs: Cannot initialize: Empty Mount table in config for viewfs://clusterX/"

<property>
  <name>fs.defaultFS</name>
  <value>viewfs://clusterX</value>
</property>

<property>
    <name>fs.viewfs.mounttable.ClusterX.link./data</name>
    <value>hdfs://nn1-clusterx.example.com:8020/data</value>
  </property>

The mountable name also has to be same as view name.
