FAQ
My opinion is that HADOOP-5744 does nor change the major semantics that were
laid out in HADOOP-1700... e.g single appender, new reads see flushed data,
etc.etc If you can post your design on hdfs byzantine fault tolerant and
then describe the assumptions of hdfs-appends that it relies on, that will
be great.

Dhruba,

I'm working on making hdfs byzantine fault tolerant and was wondering if I
have to account for current implementation of append.
If all append semantic and design will be changed (as HADOOP-5744
indicated),
I might have to wait for it to come out.
If the change won't be significant, I will probably continue with current
implementation.

Do you have any comment on this?
Thanks,

Sangmin

The code for "append" is not supported in stable releases. The .doc from
HADOOP-1700 explains the semantics of "append". There are quite a few open
issues that need to be addressed before "append" is production ready for
general applications, i.e. HADOOP-4663, HADOOP-4379, HADOOP-5027 among
others.

what type of application do you have that wants to use "append"?

thanks

Hi all,

I am wondering if append for hdfs is supported in stable releases.
If not, what is the issue? ( I see code for append is already there in
repository )
Also where can I find the documentation of current semantic of append?
(I see some .doc files from HADOOP-1700 but not sure if they are
out-dated)
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,
Sangmin
