anywhere in your network. Four of the files from the airline data set have
been downloaded into the SourceData folder for loading into HDFS. First,
create a folder in HDFS to store the data. Then complete the following steps
to import the data into HDFS:
1. Open the Hadoop command console from the desktop and enter the
following command:
hadoop fs -mkdir flightinfo
2. Import the all files from the SourceData folder into the flightinfo
folder:
hadoop fs -put c:\SourceData\*.* flightinfo
3. To verify the files were copied as expected, you can run the -ls
command:
hadoop fs -ls flightinfo
The output of the preceding steps should look like Figure 3.16 .
