Hi, I'm just getting started with HDFS and I'm using the java API. What's the best way to synchronize files between my local and hdfs file systems. I.e. if a 10G file only grows by 1G, I'd rather just append the 1G instead or copying the full 11G.
>From my understanding append operations haven't been implemented in HDFS yet. Is there any news or the status on this? I was hoping to implement something myself (using a FileInputStream and FSDataOutputStream) but FSDataOutputStream is not seekable. Any suggestions? Regards, Alan
