Hi,
I am new to hadoop. The following questions popped up in my mind
and I couldn't get answers from web.
I found that in hdfs-default.xml, the property
"dfs.support.append" has been set to false by default with the description
"Does HDFS allow appends to files? This is currently set to
false because there are bugs in the "append code" and is not supported in
any production cluster"
So, is there a way to resolve this issue? any existing
patches(like HADOOP-1700
<http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1700?page=com.atlassian.jira.pl
ugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Aall-tabpanel> ) will solve the problem of
hadoop-append to be stable?
From HADOOP-1700
<http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1700?page=com.atlassian.jira.pl
ugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Aall-tabpanel> , I can see that this feature
has been enabled and updated in trunk. But why it is not enabled in the
stable Hadoop release?
Thanks,
Gokul
