hadoop copy a local file system folder to HDFS

0 votes

I have a directory present in my local filesystem. That directory is containing multiple directories. I have to copy the whole directory to HDFS.

I am not able to find any command for doing so? Will this command work?

$hadopp fs -copyFromLocal /local-filesystem-directory /HDFS-path

You can use both

hdfs dfs -put /local-filesystem-directory /HDFS-path

or 

hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal /local-filesystem-directory /HDFS-path

They write the data recursively to the HDFS. Hope this helps.

There's a typo in your command: "hadopp". If you run the command mentioned in your question, you will end up getting an error telling that the command was not found. You can use the following command:

$ hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /local-filesystem-directory /HDFS-path
