Dinesh S. Atreya commented on HDFS-9607:
----------------------------------------

This write feature proposal is a very restricted version of POSIX write 
capability to minimize impacts to HDFS and yet provide comprehensive 
functionalities.
For example, following can be allowed: Replacing
{code}
"Hello World" 
{code}
by
{code}
 "Hello HDFS!" 
{code}, or {noformat}
 "Hello World" 
{noformat}
by
{noformat}
 "Hello: HDFS" 
{noformat}, or
{noformat} "Hello World" {noformat} by {noformat} "Hello  HDFS" {noformat} 
(with extra space between Hello and HDFS), or
{noformat} "Hello World" {noformat} by {noformat}  "           " {noformat} 
(blank spaces or any other *_padding_* instead of letters while maintaining 
length
Following are not allowed:
{noformat} "Hello World" {noformat} by {noformat} "Hello Hadoop" {noformat} 
(greater length), and
{noformat} "Hello World"  {noformat} by {noformat} "Hello HDFS" {noformat} 
(shorter length)

Note: The term *_padding_* is used to account for cases in which *_encryption_* 
with associated *_padding_* is used.
