The commands demonstrated in this section are the basic file operations needed to begin using HDFS. Below is a full listing of file manipulation commands possible with hdfs dfs. This listing can also be displayed from the command line by specifying hdfs dfs without any arguments. To get help with a specific option, use either hdfs dfs -usage <option> or hdfs dfs -help <option>.

ted files to be copied to the map reduce cluster
-libjars <comma separated list of jars> specify comma separated
jar files to include in the classpath.
-archives <comma separated list of archives> specify comma
separated archives to be unarchived on the compute machines.
The general command line syntax is

The next section introduces a Python library that allows HDFS to be accessed from within Python applications.
