# Hadoop (HDFS) Connector - Examples

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

## Create a Text File in HDFS

The following example shows how to use the connector to create a text file in HDFS:

1.  In Anypoint Studio, click **File > New > Mule Project**, name the project, and click **Finish**.

2.  In the **Mule Palette** search field, type `http`.

3.  Drag the **HTTP > Listener** operation to the canvas.

4.  In **General** settings, click the green plus sign (+) to the right of **Connector
    Configuration**.

5.  Click **OK** to accept the default settings.

6.  In **Path**, enter `/createFile`.

7.  In the **Mule Palette** search field, type `hdfs`.

8.  Drag the HDFS **Write** operation to the canvas.

9.  Set **Path** to `/test.txt` and leave the default values for the other options.  
    This is the path of the file that HDFS creates.

10. Right-click in the project canvas and select **Run project** to start the application.

11. From an HTTP client such as Postman or curl, make a POST request, set the value for
    `Content-type:plain/text` to `localhost:8081/createFile`, and add the content you want to write
    as a payload, as shown in the following example:  
    `curl -X POST -H "Content-Type:plain/text" -d "payload to write to file" localhost:8090/createFile`

12. Use an HDFS explorer to verify that the `/test.txt` file exists and contains your content.
