Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-12563:
-------------------------------------------
I've commented on HADOOP-13123 but this:
bq. we can still run apps like Tez when they are gradually adopting the new
format?
is basically the wrong approach. Tez should not be reading the file outside of
the provided hadoop classes.

> hdfs fetchdt is missing some critical features and is geared almost
> exclusively towards HDFS operations. Additionally, the token files that are
> created use Java serializations which are hard/impossible to deal with in
> other languages. It should be replaced with a better utility in common that
> can read/write protobuf-based token files, has enough flexibility to be used
> with other services, and offers key functionality such as append and rename.
> The old version file format should still be supported for backward
> compatibility, but will be effectively deprecated.
> A follow-on JIRA will deprecrate fetchdt.
