How to read fsimage

1. Download the latest fsimage copy
hdfs dfsadmin -fetchImage /tmp


ll /tmp | grep -i fsimage


2. Convert the fsimage into text format and view the directory structure. You need to specify the output directory using the "-o" option (and field delimited by @)
hdfs oiv -i fsimage -o fsimage.txt -p Delimited -delimiter '@'


3. Read the fsimage.txt
head -n 20 fsimage.txt
