Andras Bokor resolved HADOOP-7464. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Duplicate > hadoop fs -stat '{glob}' gives null with combo of absolute and non-existent > files > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7464 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7464 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.20.2 > Environment: CDH3u0 > Reporter: Jay Hacker > Assignee: Andras Bokor > Priority: Minor > > I'm trying to {{hadoop fs -stat}} a list of HDFS files all at once, because > doing them one at a time is slow. stat doesn't accept multiple arguments, so > I'm using a glob of the form '\{file1,file2\}' (quoted from the shell). I've > discovered this doesn't work for me because the glob expands non-existent > files to nothing, and I get nothing back from stat. It would be nice to be > able to use stat for this, but perhaps that's more of a feature request. > However, in the process, I discovered that with relative pathnames, I get > back the stats for the existing files. With absolute filenames, I get back > {{stat: null}}. > $ hadoop fs -touchz file1 file2 > $ hadoop fs -stat '\{file1,file2\}' > 2011-07-15 21:21:19 > 2011-07-15 21:21:19 > $ hadoop fs -stat '\{file1,file2,nonexistent\}' > 2011-07-15 21:21:19 > 2011-07-15 21:21:19 > $ hadoop fs -stat '\{user/me/file1,/user/me/file2\}' > 2011-07-15 21:21:19 > 2011-07-15 21:21:19 > $ hadoop fs -stat '\{/user/me/file1,/user/me/file2,nonexistent\}' > stat: null > Perhaps I'm doing something dumb, but it seems like stat should give the same > results whether you use relative or absolute paths. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
