On your first call, Hadoop will return a URL pointing to a datanode in the
Location header of the 307 response. On your second call, you have to use that
URL instead of constructing your own. You can see the specific documentation
here:
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.0.4/webhdfs.html#CREATE

I want to call HDFS REST api to upload a file using httplib.
My program created the file, but no content is in it.
=====================================================
Here is my code:
import httplib
conn=httplib.HTTPConnection("localhost:50070")
conn.request("PUT","/webhdfs/v1/levi/4?op=CREATE")
res=conn.getresponse()
print res.status,res.reason
conn.close()
conn=httplib.HTTPConnection("localhost:50075")
conn.connect()
conn.putrequest("PUT","/webhdfs/v1/levi/4?op=CREATE&user.name=levi")
conn.endheaders()
a_file=open("/home/levi/4","rb")
a_file.seek(0)
data=a_file.read()
conn.send(data)
res=conn.getresponse()
print res.status,res.reason
conn.close()
==================================================
Here is the return:
307 TEMPORARY_REDIRECT 201 Created
=========================================================
OK, the file was created, but no content was sent.
When I comment the #conn.send(data), the result is the same, still no content.
Maybe the file read or the send is wrong, not sure.
Do you know how this happened?
