Hadoop+s3 & fuse-dfs

[Roopa Sudheendra]

I am experimenting with Hadoop backed by Amazon s3 filesystem as one  
of our backup storage solution. Just the hadoop and s3(block based  
since it overcomes the 5gb limit) so far seems to be fine.
My problem is that i want to mount this filesystem using fuse-dfs  
( since i don't have to worry about how the file is written on the  
system ) . Since the namenode does not get started with s3 backed  
hadoop system how can i connect fuse-dfs to this setup.

Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Roopa
