Thanks A lot @Geoffrey Shelton Okot I have tried this solution and got the output but I am not satisfied from myself on this topic. So i want to do another example, Please help me out. I am using Amazon Machine (Hortonworks) : First of all I create user : "mudassar" then change the ownership by wrote this command : 1. "sudo -u hdfs hadoop fs -chown mudassar:mudassar /user/mudassar" then go to user "mudassar" 2. sudo su - mudassar then i create a directory(snapdemo) in this user : 3. hadoop fs -mkdir /user/mudassar/snapdemo then i create another directory(directory2) in this user : 4. hadoop fs -mkdir /user/mudassar/directory2 Now i have 2 directories in this user. Please see the below screen : 1. Now i want to create the text file (text1.txt) into "snapdemo" directory. and then take a snapshot of this directory into another directory (derectory2) of this user. 2. then delete the file (text1.txt) from directory "snapdemo" and then recover the snapshot from "directory2". Hope above make sense to you. Thanks Again Cheers ... View more
