How to copy over using dfs
If I have to overwrite a file I generally use hadoop dfs -rm file hadoop dfs -copyFromLocal or -put file Is there a command to overwrite/replace the file instead of doing rm first?

I don't think so, becauseI read somewhere that this is to insure the safety of the produced data. Hence Hadoop will force you to do this to know what exactly is happening.

There's no command available right now to do this (best to write a wrapper script acting as a command, or a custom shell utility program?) That said, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1608 covers the addition of -f/-overwrite feature and it may be available in future releases (possibly 0.23+). -- Harsh J
