Atreya commented on HADOOP-5215: ------------------------------------------ Please see HDFS-9607 only for *_random updates, random write-in-place, random read-write, specifically random read-copy-write_* that intends to avoid (does not allow) holes. Seek API support is also included along with random updates. > Add seek functionality for writes into file interfaces > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-5215 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5215 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Affects Versions: 0.19.0 > Reporter: He Yongqiang > > We need a seek functionality, which could be able to let clients seek to a > position and start writing from there.
