hdfs command is deprecated in hadoop

Question

As I am following below procedure:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/757934/Apache-Hadoop-for-Windows-Platform https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhxWig96dME.

While executing the command c:/hadoop-2.3.0/bin/hadoop namenode -format, I got the error message given below

**DEPRECATED:Use of this script to execute hdfs command is deprecated.
Instead use the hdfs command for it.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFountError**

I am using jdk-6-windows-amd64.exe.

How to solve this issue ?

Answer 1

use the cmd c:/hadoop-2.3.0/bin/hdfs to replace c:/hadoop-2.3.0/bin/hadoop

A lot of hdfs cmds are recommended to run with bin/hdfs not bin/hadoop
