hdfs dfs –count /user/cloudera/dir3/
touchz command creates a file in HDFS with file size
touchz--
equals to 0 byte. The directory is the name of the directory
where we will create the file, and filename is the name of the
new file we are going to create.
Hdfs dfs –ls /user/cloudera/dir3/file1
Hdfs dfs -chmod /user/cloudera/dir3/file1

How do I change directory permissions in Linux?
To change directory permissions in Linux, use the following:
chmod +rwx filename to add permissions
chmod -rwx directoryname to remove permissions.
chmod +x filename to allow executable permissions.
chmod -wx filename to take out write and executable permissions.
Note that “r” is for read, “w” is for write, and “x” is for execute.
This only changes the permissions for the owner of the file.
What are the three permission groups?
There are three options for permission groups available to you in Linux. These are
owners: these permissions will only apply to owners and will not affect other
groups.
groups: you can assign a group of users specific permissions, which will only
impact users within the group.
all users: these permissions will apply to all users, and as a result, they present
the greatest security risk and should be assigned with caution.
What are the three kinds of file permissions in Linux?
There are three kinds of file permissions in Linux:
Read (r): Allows a user or group to view a file.
Write (w): Permits the user to write or modify a file or directory.
Execute (x): A user or grup with execute permissions can execute a file or view a
directory.
More ways to manage permissions
Here's a more comprehensive list of ways you can manage file permissions, groups,
and ownership beyond the basic commands listed at the top of this guide.
How to Change Directory Permissions in Linux for the Group Owners and
Others
The command for changing directory permissions for group owners is similar, but
add a “g” for group or “o” for users:
chmod g+w filename
chmod g-wx filename
chmod o+w filename
chmod o-rwx foldername
To change directory permissions for everyone, use “u” for users, “g” for group, “o” for
others, and “ugo” or “a” (for all).
chmod ugo+rwx foldername to give read, write, and execute to everyone.
chmod a=r foldername to give only read permission for everyone.
How to Change Groups of Files and Directories in Linux
By issuing these commands, you can change groups of files and directories in
Linux.
chgrp groupname filename
chgrp groupname foldername
Note that the group must exit before you can assign groups to files and directories.
Changing ownership in Linux
Another helpful command is changing ownerships of files and directories in Linux:
chown name filename
chown name foldername
These commands will give ownership to someone, but all sub files and directories
still belong to the original owner.
You can also combine the group and ownership command by using:
chown -R name:filename /home/name/directoryname
Changing Linux permissions in numeric code
You may need to know how to change permissions in numeric code in Linux, so to
do this you use numbers instead of “r”, “w”, or “x”.
0 = No Permission
1 = Execute
2 = Write
4 = Read
Basically, you add up the numbers depending on the level of permission you want to
give.
Permission numbers are:
0 = ---
1 = --x
2 = -w-
3 = -wx
4 = r-
5 = r-x
6 = rw-
7 = rwx
For example:
chmod 777 foldername will give read, write, and execute permissions for
everyone.
chmod 700 foldername will give read, write, and execute permissions for the
user only.
chmod 327 foldername will give write and execute (3) permission for the user, w
(2) for the group, and read, write, and execute for the users.
