Hi Ali, >From what I know, there are quite a few applications that need append-to-exisiting-file feature. Since there is a demand for it, HDFS will probably implement it in the near future. I do not know of precise time-frames yet.
Do you have an application that requires appending-writes to files. If so, it will be helpful to understand the type and behaviour of this application.
