retrieve size of data copied with hadoop distcp

Question

I am running a hadoop distcp command as below:

hadoop distcp src-loc target-loc

I want to know the size of the data copied by running this command. I am planning to run the command on Qubole.

Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

Run following command

hadoop dfs -dus -h target-loc

225.2 G target-loc

It will print the human readable summary for the target-loc.
