cat
The Command-Line Interface Usage: hadoop fs -cat URI [URI ...]
Copies source paths to stdout.
Example:
All FS shell commands take path URIs as •hadoop fs -cat hdfs://nn1.example.com/file1
arguments. The URI format hdfs://nn2.example.com/file2
is scheme://authority/path. For HDFS the scheme •hadoop fs -cat file:///file3 /user/hadoop/file4
is hdfs, and for the Local FS the scheme is file. Exit Code:
Returns 0 on success and -1 on error.
The scheme and authority are optional. If not
specified, the default scheme specified in the
configuration is used. An HDFS file or directory checksum
such as /parent/child can be specified Usage: hadoop fs -checksum URI
as hdfs://namenodehost/parent/child or simply Returns the checksum information of a file.
as /parent/child (given that your configuration is Example:
•hadoop fs -checksum
set to point to hdfs://namenodehost).
hdfs://nn1.example.com/file1
Most of the commands in FS shell behave like
