Fuse HDFS allows you use standard posix system commands with HDFS. This may be useful, for example, if you have a program that needs to use data that is stored in HDFS.
To use Fuse HDFS, change directories to /hadoop-fuse/user/<your_uniqname>
Once in this directory, you can use commands on your HDFS files just as you would on any other files. For example, the ls command will list the contents of your HDFS home directory.
You could also run a Python or R program that uses a file in HDFS.
You can save the below file and run it as you would regularly run a python program to access an example data file we have available to all users in HDFS.
#!/usr/bin/python f = open("/hadoop-fuse/var/examples/romeojuliet.txt", "r") data = f.read() f.close() d = {} for word in data.split(' '): if word in d: d[word] += 1 else: d[word] = 1 for word, count in d.items(): print word + str(count)
