unclear to users which command to use to access the filesystem --------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2745 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2745 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.23.0 Reporter: Thomas Graves Priority: Critical Its unclear to users which command to use to access the filesystem. Need some background and then we can fix accordingly. We have 3 choices: hadoop dfs -> says its deprecated and to use hdfs. If I run hdfs usage it doesn't list any options like -ls in the usage, although there is an hdfs dfs command hdfs dfs -> not in the usage of hdfs. If we recommend it when running hadoop dfs it should atleast be in the usage. hadoop fs -> seems like one to use it appears generic for any filesystem. Any input on this what is the recommended way to do this? Based on that we can fix up the other issues. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
