-------------------------------------
Hi,
What is the status of this issue? Is there any change I would be released
someday?
Actually we could use such level of abstraction and I think the general idea is
great.
> Implement an Apache Commons VFS Driver for HDFS
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-1213
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1213
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: hdfs-client
> Reporter: Michael D'Amour
> Attachments: HADOOP-HDFS-Apache-VFS.patch,
> pentaho-hdfs-vfs-TRUNK-SNAPSHOT.jar,
> pentaho-hdfs-vfs-TRUNK-SNAPSHOT-sources.tar.gz
>
>
> We have an open source ETL tool (Kettle) which uses VFS for many input/output
> steps/jobs. We would like to be able to read/write HDFS from Kettle using
> VFS.
>
> I haven't been able to find anything out there other than "it would be nice."
>
> I had some time a few weeks ago to begin writing a VFS driver for HDFS and we
> (Pentaho) would like to be able to contribute this driver. I believe it
> supports all the major file/folder operations and I have written unit tests
> for all of these operations. The code is currently checked into an open
> Pentaho SVN repository under the Apache 2.0 license. There are some current
> limitations, such as a lack of authentication (kerberos), which appears to be
> coming in 0.22.0, however, the driver supports username/password, but I just
> can't use them yet.
> I will be attaching the code for the driver once the case is created. The
> project does not modify existing hadoop/hdfs source.
> Our JIRA case can be found at http://jira.pentaho.com/browse/PDI-4146
