Hi Created a directory in HDFS using 

hdfs fs -mkdir manoj.

copyFromLocal: `/manoj/file1': No such file or directory
 

But when i say 

hadoop fs -ls 

i can see that directory. Please help me out.

Hi Manoj,

Writing the command -

$ hadoop fs -mkdir manoj

is same as

$ hadoop fs -ls /user/<username>/manoj

 

The command - $ hadoop fs -ls OR $ hadoop fs -ls /user/<username>/

Reason: If you don't mention the complete path, it start with default path which is /user/<username>

To copy file into manoj directory, you can use the following command-

$ hadoop fs -copyFromLocal manoj/
OR
$ hadoop fs -copyFromLocal /user/<username>manoj/

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
