New to cloudxlab

Hi Everyone,

I’m new to Hadoop and doing self learn. Very recently i joined to cloudxlab. I have few questions with my experience with webconsole today.

  1. how to connect to hdfs from webconsole ? means moving from linux environment to hadoop environment?
    Ex : $hadoop – to move on to hadoop environment but its not working

can you please suggest and guide me with the start up things please.

Thank you in advance.

There are youtube videos by cloudxlabs. You can check those out and try to find the answers.


Hope that helps.

The better option of interacting with Hadoop is through your terminal and then ssh-ing to the cloudxlab server. Increase the timeout period. Refer the videos that are posted by cloudxlabs to connect using ssh. Then this is the command to type in the terminal

hadoop dfs -ls / //To look at the driectories that are present in hdfs

Similar to this many other commands are present . You can use the book ‘Hadoop a definitive guide’
