Bernd, Wanted to get back to you right away. I should be able to get the information to you in a day or so (hopefully tonight). I don't know of any public HDFS instances, but I will see what I can find. Regarding VFS-530, I just wanted to bump the version to the latest for the 2.1 release. I will have to ask on the hdfs-dev list if the Hadoop 1.1.2 and 2.6.0 are api compatible.

Could you maybe produce an example VFS Shell session similiar to https://wiki.apache.org/commons/VfsReleaseState where you list the command line needed. It would be best if this is an public HDFS instance (but I guess there is no such thing?) BTW: I had asked in the VFS-530 bug about how commonplace the different hdfs APIs are, and if it is really good if we bump the minimum version. As I understand it. Will HDFS with 1.1.2 be able to communicate with 2.6 instances? If yes I would prefer to keep it at 1.2 in this release. WDYT? Gruss Bernd
