Hi, We're interested in using HDFS to store several large file sets to be available for download from our customers in the following paradigm:
Customer <- | APPSERVER-CLUSTER {app1,app2,app3} | <- | HDFS | I had assumed that pulling the file from HDFS to the APPSERVER-CLUSTER could be done program-ably remotely after browsing the documentation. But after reading the API, it seems that writing Java code to interface with HDFS needs to happen locally? Is that correct? If it is correct, what is the best/recommended way to deliver downloadables to the APPSERVERS (and vice versa) which are hosted in the same network but on different machines? Thanks, Joe
