Re: Appending and seeking files while writing
Hi. Thanks for clarification. Append will be supported fully in 0.21. Any ETA for this version? Will it work both with Fuse and HDFS API? Also, append does *not* add random write. It simply adds the ability to re-open a file and add more data to the end. Just to clarify, even with append it won't be possible to: 1) Pause writing of new file, skip to any position, and update the data. 2) Open existing file, skip to any position and update the data. This will be even with FUSE. Is this correct? Regards.
Re: Appending and seeking files while writing
By the way, what about an ability for node to read file which is being written by another node? Or the file must be written and closed completely, before it becomes available for other nodes? (AFAIK in 0.18.3 the file appeared as 0 size until it was closed). Regards.

Should be out soon - Tom White is working hard on the release. Note that the first release, 0.21.0, will be somewhat of a development quality release not recommended for production use. Of course, the way it will become production-worthy is by less risk-averse people trying it and finding the bugs :) Will it work both with Fuse and HDFS API? I don't know that the Fuse code has been updated to call append. My guess is that a small patch would be required. Also, append does *not* add random write.

Correct, neither of those are allowed. This will be even with FUSE. Is this correct? Regards. -- Todd Lipcon Software Engineer, Cloudera

Re: Appending and seeking files while writing
Append is supported in hadoop 0.20 . Hi. I think this really depends on the append functionality, any idea whether it supports such behaviour now? Regards.

The FsDataInputStream already support seek() - so should FsDataOutputStream. For File systems, that do not support the seek on the write path, the seek can be a no operation. Could you open a JIRA to track this. I am willing to provide the patch if you do not have the time to do so. thanks hadooprocks On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 5:05 AM, Stas Oskin stas.os...@gmail.com wrote: Hi.
