gedit to create sql file

Question

I am using cloudera VM 5x. In the HDFS terminal, I am using the below command to create a sql file.

gedit /user/cloudera/sample.sql

It is in edit mode, when I am saving, it is throwing an error "Could not find the file /user/cloudera/sample.sql."

What's wrong with it? Even I tried to provide the full path

gedit hdfs://quickstart.cloudera:8020/user/cloudera/sample.sql

This is also returning an error saying "Could not open the file hdfs://quickstart.cloude…ser/cloudera/sample.sql." along with "gedit cannot handle hdfs: locations."

What is supposed to be the command here?

Please help.

Answer 1

I figured out it.

gedit /user/cloudera/sample.sql

This will not work since gedit saves the file into local file system and /user/cloudera is HDFS path.
