Yanbo Liang commented on HADOOP-6239:
-------------------------------------

Maybe append on a file mostly used by API rather than command-line such as 
HBase log/transaction files and Facebook Scribe.

> Command-line for append

> Once append is implemented in hdfs, it would be nice if users can append 
> files from a command-line. 
> Either have a separate 'append' command or add '-append' option for 'put' and 
> 'cp'
> Like,  
> {noformat}
> % cat mylocalfile  | hadoop dfs -put -append - /user/knoguchi/myfile    ('-' 
> for stdin)
> % hadoop dfs -cp -append myhdfsfile1 myhdfsfile2  
> {noformat}
