How to read multiple files in hdfs

Question

Hi,

I want to know who to read multiple files using cat command in hdfs. For a single file I use

hdfs dfs cat file.csv

What should I do for reading more than one file?

Answer 1

If you want to read files with same extension, try this:

hdfs dfs -cat /*.csv

If you want to read all the files, try this:

hdfs dfs -cat /* 

"*" will match any file name.
