Can not list access files of local system from hadoop

Question

I have some files in this path /home/user/local-base/

I am trying to list the files in this directory using the following command:

hdfs dfs -ls /home/user/local-base/

But I am getting this error:

WARN util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable ls: `/home/user/local-base/': No such file or directory

The path exists:

$ pwd

/home/user/local-base/

Answer 1

You can not directory use files from your local directory. Try this:

hdfs dfs -mkdir /user
hdfs dfs -mkdir /user/local-base
hdfs dfs -ls /user/local-base
echo "Hello World" > file01
hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /user/local-base
hadoop fs -cat /user/local-base/file01
