Check
http://namenode_host:50070/dfshealth.jsp to see if your cluster is
out of safemode or not and how many datanodes are up.
You could check .out/.log files under the log directory to see if there
is any error starting datanodes/namenode.

I did this several times, while tuning the configuration in all kinds of
way... But still, nothing helped - Even when I stop everything, reformat
and start it back again, I get this error whenever trying to use dfs
-put.
