Overview

   All hadoop commands are invoked by the <<<bin/hadoop>>> script. Running the
   hadoop script without any arguments prints the description for all
   commands.

   Usage: <<<hadoop [--config confdir] [COMMAND] [GENERIC_OPTIONS] [COMMAND_OPTIONS]>>>

   Hadoop has an option parsing framework that employs parsing generic
   options as well as running classes.

*-----------------------+---------------+
|| COMMAND_OPTION       || Description
*-----------------------+---------------+
| <<<--config confdir>>>| Overwrites the default Configuration directory.  Default is <<<${HADOOP_HOME}/conf>>>.
*-----------------------+---------------+
| GENERIC_OPTIONS       | The common set of options supported by multiple commands.
| COMMAND_OPTIONS       | Various commands with their options are described in the following sections. The commands have been grouped into User Commands and Administration Commands.
*-----------------------+---------------+

Generic Options

   The following options are supported by {{dfsadmin}}, {{fs}}, {{fsck}},
   {{job}} and {{fetchdt}}. Applications should implement 
   {{{../../api/org/apache/hadoop/util/Tool.html}Tool}} to support
   GenericOptions.

*------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------+

                                                 | only to job.
*------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------+

User Commands

   Commands useful for users of a hadoop cluster.

* <<<archive>>>

   Creates a hadoop archive. More information can be found at
   {{{../../hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/HadoopArchives.html}
   Hadoop Archives Guide}}.

* <<<credential>>>

   Command to manage credentials, passwords and secrets within credential providers.

   The CredentialProvider API in Hadoop allows for the separation of applications
   and how they store their required passwords/secrets. In order to indicate
   a particular provider type and location, the user must provide the
   <hadoop.security.credential.provider.path> configuration element in core-site.xml
   or use the command line option <<<-provider>>> on each of the following commands.
   This provider path is a comma-separated list of URLs that indicates the type and
   location of a list of providers that should be consulted.
   For example, the following path:

   <<<user:///,jceks://file/tmp/test.jceks,jceks://hdfs@nn1.example.com/my/path/test.jceks>>>

   indicates that the current user's credentials file should be consulted through
   the User Provider, that the local file located at <<</tmp/test.jceks>>> is a Java Keystore
   Provider and that the file located within HDFS at <<<nn1.example.com/my/path/test.jceks>>>
   is also a store for a Java Keystore Provider.

   When utilizing the credential command it will often be for provisioning a password
   or secret to a particular credential store provider. In order to explicitly
   indicate which provider store to use the <<<-provider>>> option should be used. Otherwise,
   given a path of multiple providers, the first non-transient provider will be used.
   This may or may not be the one that you intended.

   Example: <<<-provider jceks://file/tmp/test.jceks>>>

   Usage: <<<hadoop credential <subcommand> [options]>>>

*-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
||COMMAND_OPTION    ||                   Description
*-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| create <alias> [-v <value>][-provider <provider-path>]| Prompts the user for
                    | a credential to be stored as the given alias when a value
                    | is not provided via <<<-v>>>. The
                    | <hadoop.security.credential.provider.path> within the
                    | core-site.xml file will be used unless a <<<-provider>>> is
                    | indicated.
*-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| delete <alias> [-i][-provider <provider-path>] | Deletes the credential with
                    | the provided alias and optionally warns the user when
                    | <<<--interactive>>> is used.
                    | The <hadoop.security.credential.provider.path> within the
                    | core-site.xml file will be used unless a <<<-provider>>> is
                    | indicated.
*-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| list [-provider <provider-path>] | Lists all of the credential aliases
                    | The <hadoop.security.credential.provider.path> within the
                    | core-site.xml file will be used unless a <<<-provider>>> is
                    | indicated.
*-------------------+-------------------------------------------------------+

* <<<distcp>>>

   Copy file or directories recursively. More information can be found at
   {{{../../hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/DistCp.html}
   Hadoop DistCp Guide}}.

* <<<fs>>>

   Deprecated, use {{{../hadoop-hdfs/HDFSCommands.html#dfs}<<<hdfs dfs>>>}}
   instead.

* <<<fsck>>>

   Deprecated, use {{{../hadoop-hdfs/HDFSCommands.html#fsck}<<<hdfs fsck>>>}}
   instead.

* <<<fetchdt>>>

   Deprecated, use {{{../hadoop-hdfs/HDFSCommands.html#fetchdt}
   <<<hdfs fetchdt>>>}} instead.

* <<<jar>>>

   Runs a jar file. Users can bundle their Map Reduce code in a jar file and
   execute it using this command.

   Usage: <<<hadoop jar <jar> [mainClass] args...>>>

   The streaming jobs are run via this command. Examples can be referred from
   Streaming examples

   Word count example is also run using jar command. It can be referred from
   Wordcount example

* <<<job>>>

   Deprecated. Use
   {{{../../hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/MapredCommands.html#job}
   <<<mapred job>>>}} instead.

* <<<pipes>>>

   Deprecated. Use
   {{{../../hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/MapredCommands.html#pipes}
   <<<mapred pipes>>>}} instead.

* <<<queue>>>

   Deprecated. Use
   {{{../../hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/MapredCommands.html#queue}
   <<<mapred queue>>>}} instead.

* <<<version>>>

   Prints the version.

   Usage: <<<hadoop version>>>

* <<<CLASSNAME>>>

   hadoop script can be used to invoke any class.

   Usage: <<<hadoop CLASSNAME>>>

   Runs the class named <<<CLASSNAME>>>.

* <<<classpath>>>

   Prints the class path needed to get the Hadoop jar and the required
   libraries.  If called without arguments, then prints the classpath set up by
   the command scripts, which is likely to contain wildcards in the classpath
   entries.  Additional options print the classpath after wildcard expansion or
   write the classpath into the manifest of a jar file.  The latter is useful in
   environments where wildcards cannot be used and the expanded classpath exceeds
   the maximum supported command line length.

   Usage: <<<hadoop classpath [--glob|--jar <path>|-h|--help]>>>

*-----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
|| COMMAND_OPTION || Description
*-----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| --glob          | expand wildcards
*-----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| --jar <path>    | write classpath as manifest in jar named <path>
*-----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| -h, --help      | print help
*-----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+

Administration Commands

   Commands useful for administrators of a hadoop cluster.

* <<<balancer>>>

   Deprecated, use {{{../hadoop-hdfs/HDFSCommands.html#balancer}
   <<<hdfs balancer>>>}} instead.

* <<<daemonlog>>>

   Get/Set the log level for each daemon.

   Usage: <<<hadoop daemonlog -getlevel <host:port> <name> >>>
   Usage: <<<hadoop daemonlog -setlevel <host:port> <name> <level> >>>

*------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
|| COMMAND_OPTION              || Description
*------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| -getlevel <host:port> <name> | Prints the log level of the daemon running at
                               | <host:port>. This command internally connects
                               | to http://<host:port>/logLevel?log=<name>
*------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+
|   -setlevel <host:port> <name> <level> | Sets the log level of the daemon
                               | running at <host:port>. This command internally
