HDFS Location in Hadoop

Question

I am new to Hadoop and I am following an online tutorial where first we are copying a file from local filesystem to Hadoop:

hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /home/tutorial/novel.pdf /usr/local/hadoop-tmp/

 

After executing this command, I am not able to find the novel.pdf file in my HDFS.

hadoop fs -ls

Answer 1

Try using the same path where you have copied the file:

hadoop fs -ls /usr/local/hadoop-tmp/
