HDFS on Alteryxdesigner

[yagi]

How do I get a list of multiple files or filenames registered in HDFS using Alteryxdesigner?

（My purpose is to get the latest files from multiple dynamic name files (yyyymmddHHMM.csv) registered in HDFS.）

Hey @yagi,

Im no expert with HDFS but normally you would use the Directory tool for you use case. Can you use the Directory tool in you HDFS to get a list of files in a directory?

Hi. ＠IraWatt.

Thank you for reply.

Can you use the Directory tool in you HDFS to get a list of files in a directory?

Unfortunately, the directory tool cannot be used.

However, I've been told by an expert that I can get a list of files using the Hadoop API, so I'll share it.
