Hi everyone, We are currently working on a distributed file system and we are aiming to integrate hdfs to it. The libhdfs is quite complete for our use-case. However we miss a key function: a function that retrieves all datanodes of the cluster.
We would like to submit a patch to add this function to the library. This patch could include a new data type (hdfsNamenode) with their associated method to instantiate and free it and the hdfsGetDatanodes. An other idea: starting from the hdfsFS, can I write a function to retrieve the Namenode of that FS? (if yes, which function to use? getServerDefault) Do you have any comment? Do you think this kind of patch could be accepted (if no why?) Thanks in advance, Cheers, Alexandre Beche CERN / IT-GT-DMS
