Hi Jeff, The contrib/thriftfs module is probably what you're looking for.
I don't know of a lot of people using it, but it does provide a proxy-style thrift access to HDFS. Be aware that performance will not be great since it introduces several more copies in the pipeline, and Thrift was never designed for transferring large amounts of data. -Todd On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 10:37 PM, Jeff Zhang <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > > My hadoop cluster is using hadoop 0.18.3.
