Here is a simple step to copy a file into HDFS Hadoop File System.

First Create a Directory



hadoop@bigdataserver1:> hadoop fs -mkdir /bigdata1
hadoop@bigdataserver1:>

Copy the a sample file

hadoop@bigdataserver1:> hadoop fs -put /home/hadoop/hadoop/bigdata/name.txt /bigdata1
hadoop@bigdataserver1:>

Let us check if we can see the directory

hadoop@bigdataserver1:> hadoop fs -ls /
Found 1 items
drwxr-xr-x   - hadoop supergroup          0 2013-03-13 13:14 /bigdata1
hadoop@bigdataserver1:>

Let us check if we can see the file

hadoop@bigdataserver1:> hadoop fs -ls /bigdata1
Found 1 items
-rw-r--r--   1 hadoop supergroup       1370 2013-03-13 13:14 /bigdata1/name.txt
hadoop@bigdataserver1:>
