hdfs dfs -ls No Display

Question

I installed cloudera quickstart vm on docker. On HDFS Web UI five folders (benchmarks, hbase, tmp, user and var) are listed but when I use

hdfs dfs -ls

or

hadoop fs -ls

commands. It displays any directory. Any solution?

What error message/stack trace do you get? – facha Mar 03 '19 at 23:42 — facha, Mar 03 '19 at 23:42

By default it shows your HDFS home folder (which often is empty on a fresh installation).

If you want to show the root of HDFS (which is what the web ui shows), add / to the end of either command
