Description

Need a script for a bulk transfer process into HDFS in such a way that the script must be able to identify a specific file type and move only that file type into the specified HDFS location.
For example : Say I have a local directory called user/dir . In it I have txt files such as anurag123 , anurag234, vyas678 , ganesh345 , anurag277 , vyas345 ganesh789 etc. The script must take 2 inputs. One is the file type , say anurag. And the other an HDFS location. Then it must move all the files which has the name anurag in the directory to the specified HDFS location.
Also it would be good if the script could keep track of the number of files it moved to HDFS by saving the details in a new file either in HDFS or in the local directory.
