dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-222: --------------------------------------- This is a useful feature to have. I am guessing that there will be a few more hdfs-specific tools that we will develop going forward. This toll currently is invoked by "bin/hadoop jar org.apache.hdfs.tools.HDFSConcat fileA fileB". Does it make it easier to use if this can be "bin/hadoop hdfs -concat fileA fileB"? > Support for concatenating of files into a single file > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-222 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-222 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Venkatesh S > Assignee: Boris Shkolnik > Attachments: HDFS-222-1.patch, HDFS-222-2.patch, HDFS-222-3.patch, > HDFS-222-4.patch, HDFS-222.patch > > > An API to concatenate files of same size and replication factor on HDFS into > a single larger file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
