Why can't I upload a simple text file onto HDFS ?

[#1]

I've been trying to upload a basic txt file onto HDFS but it won't upload. I have tried multiple files of different sizes and extensions and found the reason to be the size of my text file (approx 150 bytes). All files over around 10kb seems to work fine... Does anyone have a solution to this ? Thanks

What error it throws? Thanks.

there isn't a specific error. Usually when I drag and drop a file onto the cloud icon, it quickly uploads. But when i drag and drop my txt files there is no response. I have seen other people successfully upload files of less than 1kb on youtube so I know it is possible. I just don't know why mine isn't working

Can you try manually uploading the file from CLI using the below command?

hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal <localsrc> URI

OR

hdfs dfs -put <localsrc> ... <dst>

Eg: hdfs dfs -put localfile /user/hadoop/hadoopfile

I've tried that but i keep getting the error as shown below:

Am i just typing my file path wrong ? As you can see I'm trying to upload 'booth1.txt'

Thanks for your help !

Can you remove the backslash before the "\"C:\users 1. 'L' is caps for 'Local' not small letter, so it is hdfs dfs -copyFromLocal <source> hdfs://<URI> 2. you have to remove backslash before "C" drive and try !

Are you trying to copy the file from windows to hadoop? I think the file which you are trying to be copied should be present in the server on which hadoop is installed..

Yes, the file is currently on windows. How do i put it on the server ? My host is 127.0.0.1
