Question

I am unable to read a file from HDFS using Java:

String hdfsUrl = \"hdfs://:\";
Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
conf         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(new URI(), configuration);
Path filePath = new Path();
FSDataInputStream fsDataInputStream = fs.open(filePath);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fsDataInputStream));
