Bulk load unable to read HFiles from different filesystem type than fs.defaultFS

In a YARN job, I am creating HFiles with code that has been cribbed from the TableOutputFormat class and bulkloading them with LoadIncrementalHFiles.doBulkLoad.

On other clusters, where fs.defaultFS is set to an hdfs: URI, and my HFiles are placed in an hdfs: URI, the bulkload works as intended.

On this particular cluster, where fs.defaultFS is set to a wasb: URI and my HFiles are placed in a wasb: URI, the bulkload also works as intended.

However, on this same cluster, whenever I place the HFiles in an hdfs: URI, I get the following logs in my application from the HBase client logging repeatedly:

And when I look at the appropriate region server's log, I find the following exception repeatedly:

Looking at the appropriate code in SecureBulkLoadEndpoint.java, I'm finding the following:

public Boolean run() {
FileSystem fs = null;
try {
Configuration conf = env.getConfiguration();
fs = FileSystem.get(conf);
for(Pair<byte[], String> el: familyPaths) {
Path p = new Path(el.getSecond());
Path stageFamily = new Path(bulkToken, Bytes.toString(el.getFirst()));
if(!fs.exists(stageFamily))

{ fs.mkdirs(stageFamily); fs.setPermission(stageFamily, PERM_ALL_ACCESS); }

}

The call to FileSystem.get is obviously the culprit, since it gets the FileSystem object based on fs.defaultFS, which is suboptimal in this case and other cases where the HFiles are located on a different type of filesystem than the defaultFS.
