title: How to shrink size of HDFS in Hadoop
body: <p>Iam using Hadoop to parse ample(about 1 million) text files and each has lot of data into it.
  Firstly I uploaded all my text files into hdfs using Eclipse. But when uploading the files, my map-reduce operation resulted in huge amount of files in following directory  C:\tmp\hadoop-admin\dfs\data.
  So , is there any mechanism, using which I can shrink the size of my HDFS (basically above mentioned drive).</p>
