*----------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
* Debug Commands
Useful commands to help administrators debug HDFS issues, like validating
block files and calling recoverLease.
** <<<verify>>>
Verify HDFS metadata and block files. If a block file is specified, we
will verify that the checksums in the metadata file match the block
file.
Usage: <<<hdfs dfs verify [-meta <metadata-file>] [-block <block-file>]>>>
*------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
|| COMMAND_OPTION | Description
*------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| -meta <metadata-file> | Absolute path for the metadata file on the local file
| | system of the data node.
*------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
| -block <block-file> | Optional parameter to specify the absolute path for
| | the block file on the local file system of the data
| | node.
*------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+
** <<<recoverLease>>>
Recover the lease on the specified path. The path must reside on an
HDFS filesystem. The default number of retries is 1.
Usage: <<<hdfs dfs recoverLease [-path <path>] [-retries <num-retries>]>>>
*-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
|| COMMAND_OPTION || Description
*-------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+
| [-path <path>] | HDFS path for which to recover the lease.
*-------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+
| [-retries <num-retries>] | Number of times the client will retry calling
| | recoverLease. The default number of retries
| | is 1.
