The Hadoop shell is a family of commands that you can run from your operating system’s command line. The shell has two sets of commands: one for file manipulation (similar in purpose and syntax to Linux commands that many of us know and love) and one for Hadoop administration. The following list summarizes the first set of commands for you, indicating what the command does as well as usage and examples, where applicable.
Hadoop KMS is a cryptographic key management server based on Hadoop’s KeyProvider API. It provides a client and a server components which communicate over HTTP using a REST API. The client is a KeyProvider implementation interacts with the KMS using the KMS HTTP REST API.
cat: Copies source paths to stdout.
Usage:hdfs dfs -cat URI [URI …]
Example:
hdfs dfs -cat hdfs://<path>/file1
hdfs dfs-cat file:///file2 /user/hadoop/file3
chgrp: Changes the group association of files. With -R, makes the change recursively by way of the directory structure. The user must be the file owner or the superuser.
Usage:hdfs dfs -chgrp [-R] GROUP URI [URI …]
chmod: Changes the permissions of files. With -R, makes the change recursively by way of the directory structure. The user must be the file owner or the superuser
Usage:hdfs dfs -chmod [-R] <MODE[,MODE]… OCTALMODE> URI [URI …]
Example:hdfs dfs -chmod 777test/data1.txt
chown: Changes the owner of files. With -R, makes the change recursively by way of the directory structure. The user must be the superuser.
Usage:hdfs dfs -chown [-R] [OWNER][:[GROUP]] URI [URI ]
Example:hdfs dfs -chown -R hduser2 /opt/hadoop/logs
copyFromLocal: Works similarly to the put command, except that the source is restricted to a local file reference.
Export serial keys to MySQL and MS SQL databases (SQL Query generator). Import serial keys from CSV, TXT documents. Export serial keys to CSV, TXT documents. Export serial keys to encrypted registration files (SHA-512). 2 use the key generator to generate a valid serial.
Usage:hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal <localsrc> URI
Example:hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal input/docs/data2.txt hdfs://localhost/user/rosemary/data2.txt
copyToLocal: Works similarly to the get command, except that the destination is restricted to a local file reference.
Usage:hdfs dfs -copyToLocal [-ignorecrc] [-crc] URI <localdst>
Example:hdfs dfs -copyToLocal data2.txt data2.copy.txt
This patch allow to specify both access and secret key via command line instead of generating them at startup. This eases the integration with other apps that could provide them (see issue #1142). Thank you for the patch @osallou - unfortunately but this won't be the right style. Minio is best suited for storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups and container / VM images. Size of an object can range from a few KBs to a maximum of 5TB. It is so simple to change the default access key and secret key for Minio on CentOS 7. To Change Access Key and Secret Key. MinIO Custom Access and Secret Keys using Docker secrets. To override MinIO's auto-generated keys, you may pass secret and access keys explicitly by creating access and secret keys as Docker secrets. MinIO server also allows regular strings as access and secret keys. Generate random minio access key and secret key. It only worked to provide MINIOACCESSKEY and MINIOSECRETKEY into /etc/default/minio environment file. Every other method failed. I used the following to generate a secret key that resemble AWS access keys in the example. In the CLI help text it looks like access key and secret key.
count: Counts the number of directories, files, and bytes under the paths that match the specified file pattern.
Usage:hdfs dfs -count [-q] <paths>
Example:hdfs dfs -count hdfs://nn1.example.com/file1 hdfs://nn2.example.com/file2
cp: Copies one or more files from a specified source to a specified destination. If you specify multiple sources, the specified destination must be a directory.
Usage:hdfs dfs -cp URI [URI …] <dest>
Example:hdfs dfs -cp /user/hadoop/file1 /user/hadoop/file2 /user/hadoop/dir
du: Displays the size of the specified file, or the sizes of files and directories that are contained in the specified directory. If you specify the -s option, displays an aggregate summary of file sizes rather than individual file sizes. If you specify the -h option, formats the file sizes in a “human-readable” way.
Usage:hdfs dfs -du [-s] [-h] URI [URI …]
Example:hdfs dfs -du /user/hadoop/dir1 /user/hadoop/file1
dus: Displays a summary of file sizes; equivalent to hdfs dfs -du –s.
Usage:hdfs dfs -dus <args>
expunge: Empties the trash. When you delete a file, it isn’t removed immediately from HDFS, but is renamed to a file in the /trash directory. As long as the file remains there, you can undelete it if you change your mind, though only the latest copy of the deleted file can be restored.
Usage:hdfs dfs –expunge
get: Copies files to the local file system. Files that fail a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) can still be copied if you specify the –ignorecrcoption. The CRC is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors. CRC checksum files have the .crc extension and are used to verify the data integrity of another file. These files are copied if you specify the -crc option.
Usage:hdfs dfs -get [-ignorecrc] [-crc] <src> <localdst>
Example:hdfs dfs -get /user/hadoop/file3 localfile
getmerge: Concatenates the files in srcand writes the result to the specified local destination file. To add a newline character at the end of each file, specify the addnl option.
Usage:hdfs dfs -getmerge <src> <localdst> [addnl]
Example:hdfs dfs -getmerge /user/hadoop/mydir/ ~/result_file addnl
ls: Returns statistics for the specified files or directories.
Usage:hdfs dfs -ls <args>
Example:hdfs dfs -ls /user/hadoop/file1
lsr: Serves as the recursive version of ls; similar to the Unix command ls -R.
Usage:hdfs dfs -lsr <args>
Example:hdfs dfs -lsr /user/hadoop
mkdir: Creates directories on one or more specified paths. Its behavior is similar to the Unix mkdir -p command, which creates all directories that lead up to the specified directory if they don’t exist already.
Usage:hdfs dfs -mkdir <paths>
Example:hdfs dfs -mkdir /user/hadoop/dir5/temp
moveFromLocal: Works similarly to the put command, except that the source is deleted after it is copied.
Usage:hdfs dfs -moveFromLocal <localsrc> <dest>
Example:hdfs dfs -moveFromLocal localfile1 localfile2 /user/hadoop/hadoopdir
mv: Moves one or more files from a specified source to a specified destination. If you specify multiple sources, the specified destination must be a directory. Moving files across file systems isn’t permitted.
Usage:hdfs dfs -mv URI [URI …] <dest>
Example:hdfs dfs -mv /user/hadoop/file1 /user/hadoop/file2
put: Copies files from the local file system to the destination file system. This command can also read input from stdin and write to the destination file system.
Usage:hdfs dfs -put <localsrc> … <dest>
Example:hdfs dfs -put localfile1 localfile2 /user/hadoop/hadoopdir; hdfs dfs -put – /user/hadoop/hadoopdir (reads input from stdin)
rm: Deletes one or more specified files. This command doesn’t delete empty directories or files. To bypass the trash (if it’s enabled) and delete the specified files immediately, specify the -skipTrash option.
Usage:hdfs dfs -rm [-skipTrash] URI [URI …]
Example:hdfs dfs -rm hdfs://nn.example.com/file9
rmr: Serves as the recursive version of –rm.
Usage:hdfs dfs -rmr [-skipTrash] URI [URI …]
Example:hdfs dfs -rmr /user/hadoop/dir
setrep: Changes the replication factor for a specified file or directory. With –R, makes the change recursively by way of the directory structure.
Usage:hdfs dfs -setrep <rep> [-R] <path>
Example:hdfs dfs -setrep 3 -R /user/hadoop/dir1
stat: Displays information about the specified path.
Usage:hdfs dfs -stat URI [URI …]
Example:hdfs dfs -stat /user/hadoop/dir1
tail: Displays the last kilobyte of a specified file to stdout. The syntax supports the Unix -f option, which enables the specified file to be monitored. As new lines are added to the file by another process, tail updates the display.
Usage:hdfs dfs -tail [-f] URI
Example:hdfs dfs -tail /user/hadoop/dir1
test: Returns attributes of the specified file or directory. Specifies –e to determine whether the file or directory exists; -z to determine whether the file or directory is empty; and -d to determine whether the URI is a directory.
Usage:hdfs dfs -test -[ezd] URI
Example:hdfs dfs -test /user/hadoop/dir1
text: Outputs a specified source file in text format. Valid input file formats are zip and TextRecordInputStream.
Usage:hdfs dfs -text <src>
Example:hdfs dfs -text /user/hadoop/file8.zip
touchz: Creates a new, empty file of size 0 in the specified path.
Usage:hdfs dfs -touchz <path>
Example:hdfs dfs -touchz /user/hadoop/file12
