Hi All, I am just reading the book *Hadoop: The Definitive Guide *by Tom White, there is an example for the *FileSystem* class in chapter 3, example3-2: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ public class FileSystemCat {
import java.io.InputStream; import java.net.URI; import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration; import org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem; import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path; import org.apache.hadoop.io.IOUtils; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { String uri = args[0]; Configuration conf = new Configuration(); FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(URI.create(uri), conf); InputStream in = null; try { in = fs.open(new Path(uri)); IOUtils.copyBytes(in, System.out, 4096, false); } finally { IOUtils.closeStream(in); } } } --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I run the program as follows: % export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=. % hadoop FileSystem.Cat hdfs://localhost/user/hadoop-user/input/mapred-site.xml and then, what i got was as fllows: ipc.Client: Retrying connect to server: localhost/127.0.0.1:8020.
