How can I get the creation date of folder in Ambari HDFS with Linux commands?

Yo,

I'm trying to get the creation date of several folders. If the date is 14 days ago, I want to remove it.

BUT, I can't find appropriate hdfs command to get the creation date. I thought of:

hdfs dfs -ls /mainFolder/subFolder

and then parse the output. This is very unprofessional, must be easier way.

Thanks in advance!!!

Use the stat command with the default format. It will print out the modification date of the provided file/folder. See the File System Shell Hadoop Reference for more information.

For example:

$hadoop fs -stat /user
