Thanks for that Info!
I have to work on the stable version, thus I need to know if this is
possible with the actual version (and if yes - which tweaks are necessary).
What I figured out is that you can specify the user/group login name
upfront within the conf, thus the hdfs client does not have to execute
any "whois" command or unix specific stuff.
So I guess if there is a patch it will be working with future releases.
But what about 0.18, 0.19 and 0.20?
Thanks for all further input on that,
Tobi

Hey Tobi,
Some folks from the Condor team at Wisconsin claimed to have this working
(see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-573), but never posted a
patch. Perhaps you could contact them and see if they have the patch ready
for public consumption?
Regards,
Jeff

Hey Guys,
I am wondering if the HDFS Client Libs will run under Windows. I saw that
in the sourcecode you use some shell commands to determine which user is
running the client etc.
Use-case is to have a Java App on Windows (XP, Server 2003 and upwards) to
read files via the Filesystem API.
If not, are there plans to implement that?
Thanks,
Tobi
