Harsh J commented on HDFS-4256:
-------------------------------
HDFS-222 has a requirement that all files's block lengths be the same (not very
practical for many usecases, even if it helps that you write data and pad them
in parallel) and also required a protocol version upping.
If you don't mind me asking, do we really need this too back-ported into
branch-1 when branch-2 is nearing a stable release?
> Support for concatenation of files into a single file in branch-1

> HDFS-222 added support concatenation of multiple files in a directory into a
> single file. This helps several use cases where writes can be parallelized
> and several folks have expressed in this functionality.
