Hi. I've started to implement a caching system which uses the Map interface as "Facade". One of the implementations is using HDFS as backend FileSystem. To be able to manage btree files remotely I need the ability to open an outputstream with an offset and write to it like you write to a RandomAccessFile.
What I would like to add to the FileSystem class is something like this: * FSDataOutputStream create<http://www.netlikon.de/docs/javadoc-hadoop-0.1/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html#create%28java.io.File,%20boolean,%20int%29> *(File <http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/io/File.html> f, boolean overwrite, int bufferSize, int offset) Does it seem reasonable ? When browsing the source code I notice that the underlying data is using the RandomAccessFile so it seems doable at least for local filesystems and the distributed one.
