Actually it is difficult to have tools using ndfs and local file system.
What do people think about introducing a ndfs notation in paths like it is used in protocol handlers? (ala http:// or file://)
I don't mean to write a protocoll hander for ndfs (this would be nice to have) but I just mean something like:


bin/nutch generate ndfs://namenode:8010/myNDFSFolder/mydb /mylocalsegment/
ndfs path: ndfs://namenode:8010/myNDFSFolder/mydb
local path: /mylocalsegment/




I agree.

Me too. It would be nice to use the standard URL class for parsing these, but you need to register the protocol first, I think there was a message recently that pointed to a howto.


This also nicely solves the non-obvious requirement that all ndfs paths must begin with a slash...
