Han Xiao commented on HDFS-4750: -------------------------------- This feature is intersting. However, I'am sorry for not having understood the desription in the pdf that "Hadoop+FUSE could be used to provide an NFS interface for HDFS. However it has many known problems and limitations." Could it be explained more detailed or a link would also be appreciated. We want to use this fuction alike to do backuping tasks with normal backup software. So the information is very important to us. Thank you. > Support NFSv3 interface to HDFS > ------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-4750 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4750 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Brandon Li > Assignee: Brandon Li > Attachments: HADOOP-NFS-Proposal.pdf > > > Access HDFS is usually done through HDFS Client or webHDFS. Lack of seamless > integration with client’s file system makes it difficult for users and > impossible for some applications to access HDFS. NFS interface support is one > way for HDFS to have such easy integration. > This JIRA is to track the NFS protocol support for accessing HDFS. With HDFS > client, webHDFS and the NFS interface, HDFS will be easier to access and be > able support more applications and use cases. > We will upload the design document and the initial implementation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
