i tried installing repository-hdfs-5.6.3 on my elasticsearch-5.6.3 setup

when i tried creating a repository, i faced the following error  
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"repository\_exception","reason":"[fpti] failed to create repository"}],"type":"repository\_exception","reason":"[fpti] failed to create repository","caused\_by":{"type":"unchecked\_i\_o\_exception","reason":"org.apache.hadoop.fs.UnsupportedFileSystemException: fs.AbstractFileSystem.hdfs.impl=null: No AbstractFileSystem configured for scheme: hdfs","caused\_by":{"type":"unsupported\_file\_system\_exception","reason":"fs.AbstractFileSystem.hdfs.impl=null: No AbstractFileSystem configured for scheme: hdfs"}}},"status":500}
