The following command will copy data from the local file system onto HDFS:
hadoop fs –copyFromLocal [source] [destination]
Example: hadoop fs –copyFromLocal /tmp/data.csv /user/test/data.csv
In the above syntax, the source is the local path and destination is the HDFS path. Copy from the local system using a -f option (flag option), which allows you to write the same file or a new file to HDFS.
