James Clampffer created HDFS-9272: ------------------------------------- Summary: Implement a unix-like cat utility Key: HDFS-9272 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9272 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: James Clampffer Assignee: James Clampffer Priority: Minor
Implement the basic functionality of "cat" and have it build as a separate executable. 2 Reasons for this: We don't have any real integration tests at the moment so something simple to verify that the library actually works against a real cluster is useful. Eventually I'll make more utilities like stat, mkdir etc. Once there are enough of them it will be simple to make a C++ implementation of the hadoop fs command line interface that doesn't take the latency hit of spinning up a JVM. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
