Historically, Xrootd-HDFS has been used as a mechanism to provide data access -- that is, reading data remotely from sites.

However, as Xrootd grows in its capabilities (particularly, integrity checking and HTTP/WebDAV support), we've been getting requests to fill in the missing pieces of the API for writing.

With this release, one can:

  • Make directories.
  • Remove files and directories.
  • Write files larger than 2GB.
  • Perform chmod against a remote server.

Overall, this brings xrootd-hdfs closer to exposing the full set of underlying filesystem capabilities.

Enjoy!
