Chris Nauroth commented on HDFS-4905: ------------------------------------- The patch is looking really good. I tested successfully on Mac and Windows. The only problem I found is that {{TestDFSShell#testAppendToFileBadArgs}} failed for me due to timeout. Can you take a look? Aside from that, here are just a few more minor suggestions: {code} public static final int DEFAULT_IO_LENGTH = 1024 * 1024; {code} This doesn't appear to be needed outside the class, so should we make it private? {code} if (is != null) { is.close(); } if (fos != null) { fos.close(); } {code} Could you please use {{IOUtils#cleanup}} here? Otherwise, there is a risk that {{is.close()}} throws before we attempt to call {{fos.close()}}. {code} * <<<hdfs dfs -appendToFile localfile /user/hadoop/hadoopfile>>> * <<<hdfs dfs -appendToFile localfile1 localfile2 /user/hadoop/hadoopdir>>> * <<<hdfs dfs -appendToFile localfile hdfs://nn.example.com/hadoop/hadoopfile>>> * <<<hdfs dfs -appendToFile - hdfs://nn.example.com/hadoop/hadoopfile>>> Reads the input from stdin. {code} In the second example, could you change "hadoopdir" to "hadoopfile" like the others? Otherwise, a user might mistakenly think that the multi-input form of the command operates on a destination directory instead of file. > Add appendToFile command to "hdfs dfs" > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-4905 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4905 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: tools > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Arpit Agarwal > Assignee: Arpit Agarwal > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HDFS-4905.002.patch, HDFS-4905.003.patch, HDFS-4905.patch > > > A "hdfs dfs -appendToFile..." option would be quite useful for quick testing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
