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. > Advance Hadoop Architecture (AHA) - HDFS > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-9607 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9607 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Dinesh S.
