Hi all, I am a student of IIT, Bombay India. We are doing research on Distributed File System, in which we are experimenting some design modifications to HDFS. We have done some modification to the HDFS code, and we want to test the results.
We are new to hadoop development, can you please help us in following matter, 1. Can you tell the exact compilation procedure of Hadoop so as to reflect any modification to the code in behaviour of system. 2. Is there any debug tool or procedure? 3. As we are interested in only HDFS part of hadoop(not map-reduce), Is it possible to separate HDFS module from hadoop and how to do that? We want to write programs which will directly use apis provided by HDFS. thanks a lot, -Ajit.
