Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-3246:
---------------------------------------
Wouldn't this be done better as a FileSystem? Then you could use distcp to copy
to or from a ftp server.

>
> An FTP client that stores content directly into HDFS allows data from FTP
> serves to be stored directly into HDFS instead of first copying the data
> locally and then uploading it into HDFS. The benefits are apparent from an
> administrative perspective as large datasets can be pulled from FTP servers
> with minimal human intervention.
