Uploading file with square brackets in its name to Hadoop via hadoop fs -put

I have a file that has a square bracket in its name. This file needs to be uploaded to Hadoop via hadoop fs -put. I am using MapR 6.

The following variants lead to a put: unexpected URISyntaxException

hadoop fs -put aaa[bbb.txt /destination
hadoop fs -put aaa\[bbb.txt /destination
hadoop fs -put "aaa[bbb.txt" /destination
hadoop fs -put "aaa\[bbb.txt" /destination
Solution

  • did you tried "aaa%5Bbbb.txt" ?
