Hi Subroto,
I didn't use the s3n filesystem.But  from the output "cp: java.io.IOException: mkdirs: Pathname too long.  Limit 8000 characters, 1000 levels.", I think this is because the problem of the path. Is the path longer than 8000 characters or the level is more than 1000?
You only have 998 folders.Maybe the last one is more than 8000 characters.Why not count the last one's length?

Subject:  S3N copy creating recursive folders

Hi,

I am using Hadoop 1.0.3 and trying to execute:
hadoop fs -cp s3n://acessKey:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/srcData" /test/srcData

This ends up with:
cp: java.io.IOException: mkdirs: Pathname too long.  Limit 8000 characters, 1000 levels.

When I try to list the folder recursively /test/srcData: it lists 998 folders like:
drwxr-xr-x   - root supergroup          0 2013-03-05 08:49 /test/srcData/srcData
drwxr-xr-x   - root supergroup          0 2013-03-05 08:49 /test/srcData/srcData/srcData
drwxr-xr-x   - root supergroup          0 2013-03-05 08:49 /test/srcData/srcData/srcData/srcData
drwxr-xr-x   - root supergroup          0 2013-03-05 08:49 /test/srcData/srcData/srcData/srcData/srcData
drwxr-xr-x   - root supergroup          0 2013-03-05 08:49 /test/srcData/srcData/srcData/srcData/srcData/srcData

Is there a problem with s3n filesystem ??

Cheers,
Subroto Sanyal

Hi,

Its not because there are too many recursive folders in S3 bucket; in-fact there is no recursive folder in the source.
If I list the S3 bucket with Native S3 tools I can find a file srcData with size 0 in the folder srcData.
The copy command keeps on creating folder  /test/srcData/srcData/srcData (keep on appending srcData).

Cheers,
Subroto Sanyal

Subroto and Shumin

Try adding a slash to to the s3n source:

- hadoop fs -cp s3n://acessKey:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/srcData"
/test/srcData
+ hadoop fs -cp s3n://acessKey:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/srcData/"
/test/srcData

Without the slash, it will keep listing "srcData" each time it is
listed, leading to the infinite recursion you experienced.

Hi George,

Tried as per your suggestion:
hadoop fs -cp "s3n://acessKey:[EMAIL PROTECTED]et/srcData/" /test/srcData/

Still facing the same problem  :-(   :
cp: java.io.IOException: mkdirs: Pathname too long.  Limit 8000 characters, 1000 levels.

Cheers,
Subroto Sanyal
