Hi,
This might be more of a python centric question but was wondering if
anyone has tried it out...
I am trying to run few hadoop commands from python program...
For example if from command line, you do:
bin/hadoop dfs -ls /hdfs/query/path
it returns all the files in the hdfs query path..
So very similar to unix
Now I am trying to basically do this from python.. and do some manipulation
from it.
exec_str = "path/to/hadoop/bin/hadoop dfs -ls " + query_path
os.system(exec_str)
Now, I am trying to grab this output to do some manipulation in it.
For example.. count number of files?
I looked into subprocess module but then... these are not native shell
commands. hence not sure whether i can apply those concepts
How to solve this?
Thanks
