    Description

      The following dfs shell command

      bin/hadoop dfs -put README.txt .

      results in creating a file /user/<user name> with the contents of README.txt.
      A correct behavior would be creating a directory and a file in it: /user/<user name>/README.txt
      The put command works correctly if /user/<user name> already exists.
      So the following sequence of command leads to the desired result:

      bin/hadoop dfs -mkdir .
bin/hadoop dfs -put README.txt .
