How can we transfer a PDF file to HDFS

Question

I am running Hadoop 2.6.0 on Oracle Virtual Box and I want to want to copy a file from a local file system to HDFS. 

What is the best way to do that?

Answer 1

You can easily upload any file to HDFS using Hadoop Commands:

try:

hadoop fs -put /your/local/file.pdf /your/hdfs/location
or

hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /your/local/file.pdf /your/hdfs/location
