Hi, thanks for the suggestion. "hadoop fs -getmerge" is a good and simple solution for one time activity on few directory. But It may have problems at scale as this solution copy the data to local from hdfs and then put it back to hdfs. Also here we have to take care of compressing and decompressing separately . we need to run this merge every hour for thousands of directories.
