Find out actual disk usage in HDFS
21,865
Solution 1
hadoop
cli is deprecated. Use hdfs
instead.
Folder wise :
sudo -u hdfs hdfs dfs -du -h /
Cluster wise :
sudo -u hdfs hdfs dfsadmin -report
Solution 2
To see the space consumed by a particular folder try:
hadoop fs -du -s /folder/path
And if you want to see the usage, space consumed, space available, etc. of the whole HDFS:
hadoop dfsadmin -report

Is there a way to find out how much space is consumed in HDFS? I used
hdfs dfs -df
but it seems to be not relevant cause after deleting huge amount of data with
hdfs dfs -rm -r -skipTrash
the previous comand displays changes not at once but after several minutes (I need up-to-date disk usage info).

hadoop dfsadmin -report
shows not up-to-date info too. -

hdfs dfsadmin -report
