Description

I am just a newbie to Hadoop. recently i self-study hadoop. when i reading the official documentations, i find that them is a little confusion by beginners like me. for example, look at the documents about HDFS shell guide:

In 0.17, the prefix of HDFS shell is hadoop dfs:
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r0.17.2/hdfs_shell.html

In 0.19, the prefix of HDFS shell is hadoop fs:
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r0.19.1/hdfs_shell.html#lsr

In 1.0.4,the prefix of HDFS shell is hdfs dfs:
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.0.4/file_system_shell.html#ls

As a beginner, i think reading them is suffering.
