Hi Everyone,

What options do I have to do something like a md5sum checksum on 
files/directories living on HDFS ?

We are making backups of files on hdfs and I'd like to do something similar to 
the command below beforehand (so when I restore I can check the files are good).

I'd prefer not to -CopyToLocal every file before deleting them. :-)

# md5sum /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/*

Does anyone have a simple solution which a linux admin could deploy ?  ie) 
doesn't require too much Java code to get the job done.

Thanks,
Scott
