the world\u2019s most reliable storage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hadoop<\/strong> HDFS is a distributed file system that provides redundant storage space for files having huge sizes. It is used for storing files that are in the range of terabytes to petabytes.<\/p>\n<h2>Hadoop HDFS Commands<\/h2>\n<p>With the help of the HDFS command, we can perform Hadoop HDFS file operations like changing the file permissions, viewing the file contents, creating files or directories, copying file\/directory from the local file system to HDFS or vice-versa, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Before starting with the HDFS command, we have to start the Hadoop services. To start the Hadoop services do the following:<\/p>\n<p>1. Move to the <strong>~\/hadoop-3.1.2<\/strong> directory<\/p>\n<p>2.
