The code for "append" is not supported in stable releases. The .doc from HADOOP-1700 explains the semantics of "append". There are quite a few open issues that need to be addressed before "append" is production ready for general applications, i.e. HADOOP-4663, HADOOP-4379, HADOOP-5027 among others.
what type of application do you have that wants to use "append"? thanks dhruba On Mon, May 4, 2009 at 12:55 AM, Sangmin Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I am wondering if append for hdfs is supported in stable releases. > If not, what is the issue?
