Hadoop File System commands

• Access your cluster by using the URL of the container.

abfs://<NAME OF CONTAINER>@<NAME OF ACCOUNT>.dfs.core.windows.net/

• Create a directory using the mkdir command. For example,

  hadoop fs -mkdir abfs://abfscontainer@abfstorageacc.dfs.core.windows.net/myDir/
  hadoop fs -ls abfs://abfscontainer@abfstorageacc.dfs.core.windows.net/

  Found 2 items

  drwxr-xr-x - root root 0 2020-05-20 15:14
  abfs://abfscontainer@abfstorageacc.dfs.core.windows.net/myDir
  drwxr-x--- - root root 0 2020-05-20 12:50
  abfs://abfscontainer@abfstorageacc.dfs.core.windows.net/test

  Similarly, you can use the put command to add a file to one of the directories, ls command to list the items in your cluster, and cat command to read the contents of the file.
