Re: how to create symbolic link in hdfs with c++ code or webhdfs interface?

To Vinod,

thank you for your reply, I found that I got this error message because I
did not add the following property in the hdfs-site.xml file

 28 property
 29 nametest.SymlinkEnabledForTesting/name
 30 valuetrue/value
 31 /property


now the problem is solved.

thanks again.

 I'm writting an c++ programme, and I need to deal with hdfs.

 What I need is to create some file in hdfs and read the status of these
 files.

 And I need to be able to create sym link in hdfs and need to know if an
 file in hdfs is an sym link file or not.

 According to what I have known, the c client lib of hdfs ( which is
 libhdfs) does not support sym link.

 And I have notice that there is an webhdfs interface for hdfs.

 According to this page, it does support sym link.



 http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/stable/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/WebHDFS.html#Create_a_Symbolic_Link


 But I have try this, and I got the following message.

 {RemoteException:{exception:UnsupportedOperationException,javaClassName:java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException,message:Symlinks
 not supported}}


 Does this means webhdfs does not support sym link too ?

 So if this true, how can I create an sym link and get the status of this
 file in c++ code?

 thank you very much for your help.
