Allen Wittenauer updated HADOOP-12563:
--------------------------------------
Description: hdfs fetchdt is missing some critical features and is geared
almost exclusively towards HDFS operations. Additionally, the token files that
are created use Java serializations which are hard/impossible to deal with in
other languages. It should be replaced with a better utility in common that can
read/write protobuf-based token files, has enough flexibility to be used with
other services, and offers key functionality such as append and rename. (was:
