Sai Srikanth commented on HDFS-7251:
------------------------------------
I agree. But couple of points to make.
1. The doc shows target showing dir option but not source which can make users
believe that source should be a file. (Consistently will help)
2. Hadoop runs on windows as well. (HDP)
> Hadoop fs -put documentation issue
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-7251
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7251
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: nfs
> Reporter: Sai Srikanth
> Priority: Minor
>
> cmd Hadoop fs -put documentation, in most of the version, it was given that
> source should be file.
> https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.5.1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/FileSystemShell.html#put
>
> Usage: hdfs dfs -put <localsrc> ... <dst>
> Copy single src, or multiple srcs from local file system to the destination
> file system. Also reads input from stdin and writes to destination file
> system.
> hdfs dfs -put localfile /user/hadoop/hadoopfile
> hdfs dfs -put localfile1 localfile2 /user/hadoop/hadoopdir
> hdfs dfs -put localfile hdfs://nn.example.com/hadoop/hadoopfile
> hdfs dfs -put - hdfs://nn.example.com/hadoop/hadoopfile Reads the input from
> stdin.
> I have tested with the directory as a source and it worked fine. I think the
> documentation need to updated.
