Hi Peter, This might be a good question for hdfs-dev?
As Harsh pointed out below, HDFS-573 was never committed. I don't even see a patch attached, although there is some discussion. In the mean time, might I suggest using the webhdfs interface on Windows? webhdfs was intended as a stable REST interface that can be accessed from any platform. cheers, Colin On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 7:19 AM, Peter Marron <peter.mar...@trilliumsoftware.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I've been looking at using libhdfs and I would like to use it on windows. > I have found HDFS-573 and the information on this page: > http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-573?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel > which suggests that quite a lot of work was done on this way back in 2009. > So is there some source from this effort retained somewhere?
