Get a few lines of HDFS data

Question

I am having a 2 GB data in my HDFS.

Is it possible to get that data randomly. Like we do in the Unix command line

cat iris2.cs         


        

Answer 1

Working code:

hadoop fs -cat /tmp/a/b/20200630.xls | head -n 10

hadoop fs -cat /tmp/a/b/20200630.xls | tail -3
