java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Both source file listing and source paths present

Question

I am trying to copy files from HDFS to S3 using distcp by executing the following command

hadoop distcp -fs.s3a.access.key=AccessKey -fs.s3a.secret.key=SecrerKey \
s3n://testbdr/test2 hdfs://hostname:portnumber/tmp/test 

But I am getting the following error:

17/09/05 02:59:30 ERROR tools.DistCp: Invalid arguments:

Answer 1

Old Command

hadoop distcp -Dfs.s3a.access.key=AccessKey -Dfs.s3a.secret.key=SecretKey \ s3n://testbdr/test2 hdfs://hostname:portnumber/tmp/test

Rectified Command

hadoop distcp -Dfs.s3n.awsAccessKeyId=AccessKey -Dfs.s3n.awsSecretAccessKey=SecretKey \ s3n://testbdr/test2 hdfs://hostname:portnumber/tmp/test

Answer 2

To pass configuration parameters, you have to use -D

hadoop distcp -Dfs.s3a.access.key=AccessKey -Dfs.s3a.secret.key=SecrerKey \
s3n://testbdr/test2 hdfs://hostname:portnumber/tmp/test
