Description

cmd Hadoop fs -put documentation, in most of the version, it was given that source should be file.

https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.5.1/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/FileSystemShell.html#put

Usage: hdfs dfs -put <localsrc> ... <dst>

Copy single src, or multiple srcs from local file system to the destination file system. Also reads input from stdin and writes to destination file system.

hdfs dfs -put localfile /user/hadoop/hadoopfile
hdfs dfs -put localfile1 localfile2 /user/hadoop/hadoopdir
hdfs dfs -put localfile hdfs://nn.example.com/hadoop/hadoopfile
hdfs dfs -put - hdfs://nn.example.com/hadoop/hadoopfile Reads the input from stdin.

I have tested with the directory as a source and it worked fine. I think the documentation need to updated.
