Locks in hadoop
I would like to implement a locking mechanism across the hdfs cluster I assume there is no inherent support for it I was going to do it with files. According to my knowledge, file creation is an atomic operation. So the file-based lock should work. I need to think through with all conditions but if some one has better idea/solution, pl share Thanks -Sagar

Did you look at Zookeeper?
