-------------------------------------
Summary: Implement a unix-like cat utility
Key: HDFS-9272
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9272
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: James Clampffer
Assignee: James Clampffer
Priority: Minor
Implement the basic functionality of "cat" and have it build as a separate
executable.
2 Reasons for this:
We don't have any real integration tests at the moment so something simple to
verify that the library actually works against a real cluster is useful.
Eventually I'll make more utilities like stat, mkdir etc. Once there are
enough of them it will be simple to make a C++ implementation of the hadoop fs
command line interface that doesn't take the latency hit of spinning up a JVM.
