Xrootd-HDFS Improved Write Support
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!
