Hi, We are planning to use one of the hdfs commands "appendToFile" in our file process, would someone confirm it's production ready or any open issues thats still in discussion.
In my research, I found the following JIRA's directly or related to this command and its all closed (except HDFS 1060). please let me know if i missed anything JIRA Id Description Status HDFS-1060 Append/flush should support concurrent "tailer" use case Open HADOOP-6239 HDFS-4905 Command-line for append Fixed HDFS-744 Support hsync in HDFS Fixed HDFS-222 Support for concatenating of files into a single file Fixed HDFS-265 Revisit append- This jira revisits append, aiming for a design and implementation supporting a semantics that are acceptable to its users.
