Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-2745: ---------------------------------------- There has been a lot of changes since this JIRA was filed including a lot of finger memory around 'hdfs dfs'... > unclear to users which command to use to access the filesystem > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2745 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2745 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.23.0, 1.2.0, 2.0.2-alpha > Reporter: Thomas Graves > Assignee: Andrew Wang > Priority: Critical > Attachments: hdfs-2745-1.patch, hdfs-2745-2.patch > > > Its unclear to users which command to use to access the filesystem. Need some > background and then we can fix accordingly. We have 3 choices: > hadoop dfs -> says its deprecated and to use hdfs. If I run hdfs usage it > doesn't list any options like -ls in the usage, although there is an hdfs dfs > command > hdfs dfs -> not in the usage of hdfs. If we recommend it when running hadoop > dfs it should atleast be in the usage. > hadoop fs -> seems like one to use it appears generic for any filesystem. > Any input on this what is the recommended way to do this? Based on that we > can fix up the other issues. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
