Hi all, I develop a web application with Django(Python) which should access an hbase database and store large files to hdfs.
I wonder what is the best way to write files to hdfs from my Django app? Basically I thought about two ways but maybe you know a better option: 1. First store the file on the local file system and than move it with the thrift interface to hdfs. (downside: needs always enough space on the web application server) 2. Use hdfs-fuse to mount the hdfs file system and write the file directly to hdfs. (downside: I don't know how well hdfs-fuse is supported and I'm not sure if it is a good idea to mount the file system and run large operation on it). Since I'm new to hdfs and Hadoop in general I'm not sure what's the best and less error-prone way. What would be your recommendation? Thanks a lot! Björn
