Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-337: ------------------------------------- Can you describe more about the application that requires this feature? I wonder if there might be a reasonable workaround. Previously I proposed using a directory of files instead of a single file for a related issue. > DFS files should be appendable > ------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-337 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-337 > Project: Hadoop > Type: New Feature > Components: dfs > Versions: 0.1.0, 0.2.0, 0.1.1, 0.3.0, 0.4.0, 0.2.1, 0.3.1, 0.3.2 > Environment: all > Reporter: Runping Qi > > Actually two related issues > 1.
