Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-3246:
--------------------------------------
The problem with the ftpserver jars is that they're not yet a released Apache
product. Providing them as a part of a Hadoop release means that the Hadoop
project would be releasing them, and we must perform the diligence required of
Apache releases. This is not something we should do lightly.
So it will be much easier to provide HADOOP-3199 in Hadoop once there has been
a release of ftpserver.

> 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.
