Guys, As far as I know hadoop, I think, to copy the files to HDFS, first it needs to be copied to the NameNode's local filesystem. Is it right ?? So does it mean that even if I have a hadoop cluster of 10 nodes with overall capacity of 6TB, but if my NameNode's hard disk capacity is 500 GB, I can not copy any file to HDFS greater than 500 GB ?
Is there any other way to directly copy to HDFS without copy the file to namenode's local filesystem ? What can be other ways to copy large files greater than namenode's disk capacity ? Thanks, Praveenesh.
