Thanks a lot Xiabo.

I have tried with the  below code in HDFS version 0.20.20 and it worked.
Is it not stable yet?

public class HadoopFileWriter {
public static void main (String [] args) throws Exception{
try{
URI uri = new 
URI("hdfs://localhost:9000/Users/jagarandas/Work-Assignment/Analytics/analytics-poc/hadoop-0.20.203.0/data/test.dat");


Path pt=new Path(uri);
FileSystem fs = FileSystem.get(new Configuration());
BufferedWriter br;
if(fs.isFile(pt)){
br=new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(fs.append(pt)));
br.newLine();
}else{
br=new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(fs.create(pt,true)));
}
String line = args[0];
System.out.println(line);
br.write(line);
br.close();
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("File not found");
}
}
}

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,
Jagaran

You can merge multiple files into a new one, there is no means to
append to a existing file.
