James Clampffer commented on HDFS-9272:
---------------------------------------
Thanks for the explanation! I didn't know that was already an issue with the
current java 'hadoop fs' implementation.
In that case I'll remove this once the integration tests are in place.

> Project: Hadoop HDFS

> 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.
