Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-3246:
--------------------------------------
> Wouldn't this be done better as a FileSystem?
+1. That makes sense to me. If the goal is to load data from FTP servers into
HDFS, or vice-versa, then a FTP FileSystem implementation would permit both
using existing tools like 'bin/hadoop fs' and distcp.

> Priority: Minor

>
> 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.
