> Is there any option to find empty directory using HDFS command Directly? You can get a list/find empty directories using the 'org.apache.solr.hadoop.HdfsFindTool'. And using the hdfs tool to check/test if _a_ directory is empty, you can use -du or -test; please see the FileSystemShell [0] test
Usage: hadoop fs -test -[defsz] URI
Options:
-d: f the path is a directory, return 0.
-e: if the path exists, return 0.
-f: if the path is a file, return 0.
-s: if the path is not empty, return 0.
-r: if the path exists and read permission is granted, return 0.
-w: if the path exists and write permission is granted, return 0.
-z: if the file is zero length, return 0.
Example:
hadoop fs -test -e filename du
Usage: hadoop fs -du [-s] [-h] [-x] URI [URI ...]
Displays sizes of files and directories contained in the given directory or the length of a file in case its just a file.
Options:
The -s option will result in an aggregate summary of file lengths being displayed, rather than the individual files. Without the -s option, calculation is done by going 1-level deep from the given path.
The -h option will format file sizes in a “human-readable” fashion (e.g 64.0m instead of 67108864)
The -x option will exclude snapshots from the result calculation. Without the -x option (default), the result is always calculated from all INodes, including all snapshots under the given path.
The du returns three columns with the following format:
size disk_space_consumed_with_all_replicas full_path_name
Example:
hadoop fs -du /user/hadoop/dir1 /user/hadoop/file1 hdfs://nn.example.com/user/hadoop/dir1
Exit Code: Returns 0 on success and -1 on error. [0] https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/FileSystemShell.html
