According to https://developers.google.com/hadoop/google-cloud-storage-connector:
"FileSystem.append is unsupported. If you choose Google Cloud Storage as your default file system<https://developers.google.com/hadoop/setting-up-a-hadoop-cluster#choosingafilesystem>, you might need to update your MapReduce to avoid using the append method." So, the answer is: append support in GFS, at a minimum, therefore unlikely to happen. But this is a naive answer :-) since I'm not familiar with the Google cloud.
