Hi,

I have a application which creates a simple text file on hdfs. There is a
second application which processes this file. The second application picks
up the file for processing only when the file has not been modified for 10
mins. In this way, the second application is sure that this file is ready
for processing.

But, what is happening is that the Hadoop is not updating the modification
timestamp of the file even when the file is being written into. The
modification timestamp of the file is same as the timestamp when the file
was created. 

I am using hadoop 0.18.2. 

1. Is this a bug in hadoop or is this way hadoop works
2. Is there way by which I can programmitically set the modification
timestamp of the file

Thanks,
Sandeep
