Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-7519: ------------------------------------------ BTW, I'm fairly certain that distcp works against file:// . > hadoop fs commands should support tar/gzip or an equivalent > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7519 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7519 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.20.1 > Reporter: Keith Wiley > Priority: Minor > Labels: hadoop > > The "hadoop fs" subcommand should offer options for batching, unbatching, > compressing, and uncompressing files on hdfs. The equivalent of "hadoop fs > -tar" or "hadoop fs -gzip". These commands would greatly facilitate moving > large data (especially in a large number of files) back and forth from hdfs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
