Gilles PIETRI commented on HADOOP-3199:
---------------------------------------
Hi,
Yeah, having a single FTP server that distributes HDFS is funny, but really not
that useful. Why not use something like PRET in FTP to achieve FTP support in a
useful way, avoiding a "single proxy" bottleneck?

> Need an FTP Server implementation over HDFS

> Key: HADOOP-3199
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3199
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: dfs
> Affects Versions: 0.16.2
> Reporter: Ankur
> Attachments: hdfs-over-ftp.tar.bz2

>
> An FTP server that sits on top of a distributed filesystem like HDFS has many
> benefits. It allows the storage and management of data via clients that do
> not know HDFS but understand other more popular transport mechanism like FTP.
> The data is thus managed via a standard and more popular protocol, support
> for which is widely available.
> The idea is to leverage what is already available in Apache
> http://mina.apache.org/ftpserver.html and build on top of it. This FTP server
> can be embedded easily in hadoop and can easily be programmed to talk to HDFS
> via an Ftplet which is run by the FTP server.
> Ideally there should be options to configure FTP server settings (in
> hadoop-default.xml) which allows FTP server to be started when HDFS is
> booted.
