Lohit Vijayarenu commented on HADOOP-9987: ------------------------------------------ Can somebody close this, this was opened by mistake as part of retry of HADOOP-9985. I dont seem to have option to close this JIRA > HDFS Compatible ViewFileSystem > ------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-9987 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9987 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Lohit Vijayarenu > Fix For: 2.0.6-alpha > > > There are multiple scripts and projects like pig, hive, elephantbird refer to > HDFS URI as hdfs://namenodehostport/ or hdfs:/// . In federated namespace > this causes problem because supported scheme for federation is viewfs:// . We > will have to force all users to change their scripts/programs to be able to > access federated cluster. > It would be great if thee was a way to map viewfs scheme to hdfs scheme > without exposing it to users. Opening this JIRA to get inputs from people who > have thought about this in their clusters. > In our clusters we ended up created another class > HDFSCompatibleViewFileSystem which hijacks both hdfs.fs.impl and > viewfs.fs.impl and passes down filesystem calls to ViewFileSystem. Is there > any suggested approach other than this? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
