Hi Roopa,
I cant comment on the S3 specifics. However, fuse-dfs is based on a C
interface called libhdfs which allows C programs (such as fuse-dfs) to
connect to the Hadoop file system Java API. This being the case,
fuse-dfs should (theoretically) be able to connect to any file system
that Hadoop can. Your mileage may vary, but if you find issues, please
do report them through the normal channels.

I am experimenting with Hadoop backed by Amazon s3 filesystem as one
of our backup storage solution. Just the hadoop and s3(block based
since it overcomes the 5gb limit) so far seems to be fine.
My problem is that i want to mount this filesystem using fuse-dfs (
since i don't have to worry about how the file is written on the
system ) . Since the namenode does not get started with s3 backed
hadoop system how can i connect fuse-dfs to this setup.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Roopa
