Hi Priyanka, Currently Inotify is only one option available in HDFS to monitor the file system. It is not supporting path based monitoring. Some work is in-progress to support it.

I see we have a inotify at file system level. I see two problems with it, 1. It has to be run as a DFSAdmin user. 2. I didn't find a way to monitor a particular folder, it monitors entire file system. Is there any other way I can monitor a directory? Or is there something I am missing about inotify? -Priyanka
