Description

In FileSystemShell.apt.vm,

stat

   Usage: <<<hdfs dfs -stat URI [URI ...]>>>

   Returns the stat information on the path.

Now -stat accepts the below formats.

• %b: Size of file in blocks
• %g: Group name of owner
• %n: Filename
• %o: Block size
• %r: replication
• %u: User name of owner
• %y: UTC date as "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
• %Y: Milliseconds since January 1, 1970 UTC

They should be documented.
