I don't know very much about the current patch in the Apache tracker, but there really should be no need to patch the Hadoop upstream. Just provide a jar with our filesystem plugin, change fs.default.name=ceph://something/, fs.ceph.impl=com.ceph.hadoop.CephFileSystem (whatever is in the jar). http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/cluster_setup.html#Configuring+the+Hadoop+Daemons http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/core-default.html -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
