Hi Sidharth, You can check the below HDFS shell tool. https://github.com/avast/hdfs- <https://github.com/avast/hdfs-shell>shell <https://github.com/avast/hdfs-shell> <https://github.com/avast/hdfs-shell>
*Feature highlights* - HDFS DFS command initiates JVM for each command call, HDFS Shell does it only once - which means great speed enhancement when you need to work with HDFS more often - Commands can be used in a short way - eg. *hdfs dfs -ls /*, *ls /* - both will work - *HDFS path completion using TAB key* - you can easily add any other HDFS manipulation function - there is a command history persisting in history log (~/.hdfs-shell/hdfs- shell.log) - support for relative directory + commands *cd* and *pwd* - it can be also launched as a daemon (using UNIX domain sockets) - 100% Java, it's open source Thanks Tanvir On Fri, May 26, 2017 at 9:09 AM, Sidharth Kumar <[email protected] > wrote: > Thanks, I'll check it out. > > > Sidharth > > On 26-May-2017 4:10 PM, "Hariharan" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> The concept of working directory is only useful for processes, and HDFS >> does not have executables.
