You might also try using something like Fuse-dfs (http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/MountableHDFS) to "mount" the HDFS file system on the mysql machine. You could then use a standard unix path to specify the loadfile.

So you are using a java program to execute a "load data infile" command on mysql through JDBC? If so I *think* you would have to copy it onto the mysql machine from HDFS first, or the machine running the command and then try a 'load data local infile'. Or pehaps use the http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/lib/db/DBOutputFormat.html Cheers Tim On Tue, May 19, 2009 at 9:54 PM, dealmaker <vin...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > I am want to load data in mysql using a hadoop file similar to following: > LOAD DATA INFILE 'test.txt' INTO TABLE test > FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES STARTING BY 'xxx'; > > But how do I load the hdfs file into the mysql comand above?
