Hi Dev, Just I want to know your opinion about having file system query support from hbase script. Presently We can use org.apache.hadoop.fs.FsShell tool from hbase script to get basic information like list of files,disk usage etc from underneath file system. But user need to pass full path details like hdfs://namenodehost/parent/child or file:///rootdir/path to the command. For this user need to know whether hbase is using local file system or hdfs and host details to form full path(need to check in configurations). Ex: $HBASE_HOME/bin/hbase org.apache.hadoop.fs.FsShell -ls hdfs://127.0.0.1/hbase/.logs I want to simplify this by having one more command like "fscli" in hbase script just like zkcli command support in such a way that user can query file system by passing commands with simple paths as argument. Ex: $HBASE_HOME/bin/hbase fscli -ls /hbase/.logs New fscli command will also use FsShell tool but we will parse the hbase.rootdir property value to get FS details and and append simple path to it. If every one ok with it I will open a jira and contribute it. Thanks and Regards. Rajeshbabu
