Steve Loughran commented on BAHIR-67: ------------------------------------- This is what confuses me: all you should need to do for webhdfs access is use the right path, one that begins {{webhdfs://}}; the implementation is in the hadoop-hdfs/hadoop-hdfs-client JAR and it shoud just work, What would be useful is integration tests; a MiniHDFSCluster can be brought up with webhdfs enabled for that testing > WebHDFS Data Source for Spark SQL > --------------------------------- > > Key: BAHIR-67 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BAHIR-67 > Project: Bahir > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Spark SQL Data Sources > Reporter: Sourav Mazumder > Original Estimate: 336h > Remaining Estimate: 336h > > Ability to read/write data in Spark from/to HDFS of a remote Hadoop Cluster > In today's world of Analytics many use cases need capability to access data > from multiple remote data sources in Spark. Though Spark has great > integration with local Hadoop cluster it lacks heavily on capability for > connecting to a remote Hadoop cluster. However, in reality not all data of > enterprises in Hadoop and running Spark Cluster locally with Hadoop Cluster > is not always a solution. > In this improvement we propose to create a connector for accessing data (read > and write) from/to HDFS of a remote Hadoop cluster from Spark using webhdfs > api. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
