I am not sure if this is the right listserv, forgive me if it is not. My goal is this: monitor HDFS until a file is create, and then kick off a job. Ideally I'd want to do this continuously, but the file would be create hourly (with some sort of variance). I guess I could make a script that would ping the server every 5 minutes or something, but I was wondering if there might be a more elegant way?
Thanks Jon
