Matthias J. Sax commented on FLINK-2606: ---------------------------------------- It just came to my mind, that there exists a storm-hdfs module already: https://github.com/apache/storm/tree/master/external/storm-hdfs Thus, I am not sure if Flink should provide an own HdfsSpout. It's not the purpose of the compatibility layer to provide spout/bolt implementations with all kind of features. The currently included spouts/bolt are actually provided for testing and showcase purpose only. Maybe we should just close this ticket? > Extend StormFileSpout to handle HDFS > ------------------------------------ > > Key: FLINK-2606 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2606 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Storm Compatibility > Reporter: Matthias J. Sax > Priority: Minor > > Currently, `StormFileSpout` uses a simple `FileReader` internally to read > local files. Thus, it cannot read data from HDFS. > With this ticket, either `StormFileSpout` should be extended to be able to > handle HDFS files or a new class (eg, `StormHdfsSpout`) should be introduced > for it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
