OCT 24 / 9AM ET Register nowHDFS Operate On File
Provides six potential file operations: File Exist, File Not Exist, Mkdir, Delete, Copy, and Move, which are defined in the Operation parameter.
The task evaluates both /data/tmp and /data/tmp/ paths as a tmp folder, so to operate a folder’s contents without the folder itself, we recommend using the /data/tmp/?* mask.
|
All operations respect permissions on the filesystem (that is, in case of insufficient permissions on the specified source or target, the task fails).
