I have one 500GB plain-text file in HDFS, and I want to copy locally, to zip it and put it on another machine in a local disk. The problem is that I don't have enough space in the local disk where HDFS is, to then zip it and transfer to another host.
Can I split the file into small files to be able to copy to the local disk? Any suggestions on how to do a copy? -- Best regards,
