Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-3246:
--------------------------------------
Thanks! This looks great!
Can you please attach the required jar files to this issue too?
Ideally the test service should specify zero as the port, so that the OS
allocates a free port, then we can ask which port was allocated and use that.
But it doesn't look as though the Mina FTP server permits one to get the port
that it's actually launched on. So perhaps we should try a few times in a
loop, using a randomly generated port? Otherwise we'll get random test
failures when that ports already in use, e.g., by another test run.

> 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.
