How to place a data ito HDFS::!

2009-06-05 Thread Sugandha Naolekar 
I have a 7 node cluster working as of now. I want to place the data into
HDFS, from a machine which is not a part of the hadoop cluster. How can I do
that.? It's in a way, a remote machine.

Will I have to use RPC mechanism or simply I can use FileSystem api and do
some kind of coding and make it work?

I have setup machines just to act as HADOOP clients which are not part 
of the actual cluster (master/slave config). The only thing is that 
these machines acting as hadoop clients were all internal in our network 
and I have not tested with remote machines outside our internal LAN. My 
assumption is if the access privilages are set right from the remote 
machines (as clients) pointing to the namenode in the cluster you could 
probably place data into HDFS without issues.


Thanks,

Thanks a lot! Will try it out initially with the machines within LAN and
then later on with the remote machines.

Will let you know, if something gets on my way!
