Ah, right, it was introduced in 0.19. It shouldn't be too tough to compile against 0.18 - the API changes were minimal and it's an external client so internal changes shouldn't have any effect.
I'd recommend pulling the source from 0.20, moving it into the contrib directory, and hacking away. If you aren't comfortable in Java and with build.xml, though, you're probably out of luck - it's unlikely to work without a bit of coercion. -Todd On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 8:11 PM, Jeff Zhang <[email protected]> wrote: > But I do not found the thrift in hadoop 0.18.3. > Can I use other version of hadoop's thrift for my cluster which is built > upon hadoop 0.18.3 > > > On Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 1:56 AM, Todd Lipcon <[email protected]> wrote: > > > 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.
