get
Copies files to the local file system. Files that fail the CRC check may be copied with the -ignorecrc option. Files and CRCs may be copied using the -crc option.
Returns 0 on success and -1 on error.
The usage is as follows:
$ hadoop fs -get [-ignorecrc] [-crc] [-p] [-f] <src> <localdst>| -p | Preserves access and modification times, ownership and the sessions, assuming the permissions can be propagated across filesystems | 
| -f | Overwrites the destination if it already exists | 
| -ignorecrc | Skips CRC checks on the file(s) downloaded | 
| -crc | Writes CRC checksums for the downloaded files | 
Examples:
$ hadoop fs -get /user/hadoop/file localfile
$ hadoop fs -get hdfs://nn.example.com/user/hadoop/file localfile
