             Summary: Hadoop fs -put documentation issue
                 Key: HDFS-7251
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7251
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: nfs
            Reporter: Sai Srikanth
            Priority: Minor


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.
