chown and chmod for folder only (recursively) on hdfs-CodePudding

I want to chown and chmod on hdfs (recursively) but only for the folder. In Linux we can do it using find

find /path/to/base/dir -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755

When I try the same in HDFS

hdfs dfs -find /path/to/base/dir -type d -print0

I get an error

find: Unexpected argument: -type

Hadoop version : Hadoop 3.1.1.7.1.7.0-551

Note: I actually also tried in Hadoop 2.6.0 and got -find: Unknown command , so I think I need to use Hadoop version 3 .

Is there any equivalent in Hadoop?

CodePudding user response：

The below should work for both Hadoop 2 and 3.

hdfs dfs -ls -R /path/to/base/dir/ | grep "^d"

As a bonus, one can extend the regex used in grep beyond simple "directories only" (^d) to further filter the results.
