Hadoop absolute path - pwd

0 votes

I tried to do hdfs dfs -pwd, but that command does not exist. So i tried hdfs dfs -ls  followed by hdfs dfs -ls ../..

Is there any way to find the direct path?

"hdfs dfs -pwd" does not exist because there is no "working directory" concept in HDFS when you run commands from command line.

Your home dir is always the prefix of the path, unless it starts from "/".

Here's a list of HDFS commands 

    -appendToFile
    -cat
    -checksum
    -chgrp
    -chmod
    -chown
    -copyFromLocal
    -copyToLocal
    -count
    -cp
    -createSnapshot
    -deleteSnapshot
    -df
    -du
    -expunge
    -get
    -getfacl
    -getfattr
    -getmerge
    -help
    -ls
    -mkdir
    -moveFromLocal
    -moveToLocal
    -mv
    -put
    -renameSnapshot
    -rm
    -rmdir
    -setfacl
    -setfattr
    -setrep
    -stat
    -tail
    -test
    -text
    -touchz
