fs-hdfs

It's based on the version 0.0.4 of http://hyunsik.github.io/hdfs-rs to provide libhdfs binding library and rust APIs which safely wraps libhdfs binding APIs.

Current Status

• All libhdfs FFI APIs are ported.
• Safe Rust wrapping APIs to cover most of the libhdfs APIs except those related to zero-copy read.
• Compared to hdfs-rs, it removes the lifetime in HdfsFs, which will be more friendly for others to depend on.

Documentation

• [API documentation] (https://yahonanjing.github.io/fs-hdfs)

Requirements

• The C related files are from the branch 3.3.1 of hadoop repository. For rust usage, a few changes are also applied.
• No need to compile the Hadoop native library by yourself. However, the Hadoop jar dependencies are still required.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] fs-hdfs = "0.1.3"

Firstly, we need to add library path for the jvm related dependencies. An example for MacOS,

sh export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/server

Here, $JAVA_HOME need to be specified and exported.

Since our compiled libhdfs is JNI native implementation, it requires the proper CLASSPATH. An example,

sh export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:`hadoop classpath`

Testing

The test also requires the CLASSPATH. In case that the java class of org.junit.Assert can't be found. Refine the $CLASSPATH as follows:

sh export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:`hadoop classpath`:$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/tools/lib/*

Here, $HADOOP_HOME need to be specified and exported.

Then you can run

bash cargo test

Example

```rust use hdfs::hdfs::HdfsFs;

let fs: HdfsFs = HdfsFs::new("hdfs://localhost:8020/").ok().unwrap(); match fs.mkdir("/data") { Ok() => { println!("/data has been created") }, Err() => { panic!("/data creation has failed") } }; ```
