Overview

   All hadoop commands are invoked by the <<<bin/hadoop>>> script. Running the
   hadoop script without any arguments prints the description for all
   commands.

   Usage: <<<hadoop [--config confdir] [COMMAND] [GENERIC_OPTIONS] [COMMAND_OPTIONS]>>>

   Hadoop has an option parsing framework that employs parsing generic
   options as well as running classes.

*-----------------------+---------------+
|| COMMAND_OPTION       || Description
*-----------------------+---------------+
| <<<--config confdir>>>| Overwrites the default Configuration directory.  Default is <<<${HADOOP_HOME}/conf>>>.
*-----------------------+---------------+
| GENERIC_OPTIONS       | The common set of options supported by multiple commands.
| COMMAND_OPTIONS       | Various commands with their options are described in the following sections. The commands have been grouped into User Commands and Administration Commands.
*-----------------------+---------------+

Generic Options

   The following options are supported by {{dfsadmin}}, {{fs}}, {{fsck}},
   {{job}} and {{fetchdt}}. Applications should implement 
   {{{../../api/org/apache/hadoop/util/Tool.html}Tool}} to support
   GenericOptions.

                  | directory tree.  Best effort for the directory, with faults
                  | reported if \
                  | 1. N is not a positive integer, or \
                  | 2. user is not an administrator, or \
