Hi,
VERSION does not appear to show up when running "hadoop dfs -lsr /"
it displays the files previously placed into hdfs . but nothing about
VERSION. I can see the VERSION file on the datanodes under the hdfs
managed data directoy
find /data | xargs ls -lrta | grep VERSION
-rw-rw-r-- 1 hdfs hdfs 154 Aug 9 16:28 /data/1/dfs/dn/current/VERSION
-rw-rw-r-- 1 hdfs hdfs 154 Aug 9 16:28 /data/2/dfs/dn/current/VERSION
-rw-rw-r-- 1 hdfs hdfs 154 Aug 9 16:28 /data/3/dfs/dn/current/VERSION
-rw-rw-r-- 1 hdfs hdfs 154 Aug 9 16:28 VERSION
-rw-rw-r-- 1 hdfs hdfs 154 Aug 9 16:28 VERSION
-rw-rw-r-- 1 hdfs hdfs 154 Aug 9 16:28 VERSION
But using hadoop dfs does not see it ?
