Hey Joey, Thanks for update :). I will try both as you have suggested . -----Original Message----- From: Joey Echeverria [mailto:j...@cloudera.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2011 7:25 PM To: hdfs-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: Re: Best option for mounting HDFS
Hey Stuti, Fuse is probably the most commonly used solution. It has some limitations because HDFS isn't posix compliant, but it it works for a lot of use cases. You can try out both the contrib driver and the google code version. I'm not sure which will work better for your Hadoop version. Newer Hadoop releases have a lot of fuse related improvements. -Joey On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 2:44 AM, Alexander C.H.
