appending to a file

Hi all!

I'm new to hadoop, and I didn't find any method which allows appending to a
file.
Can anyone give an example of how to do this?

Thanks,
Einav

It is not possible to do direct appends to an existing file. One possible
work around - create a new temp file whenever you want to do an append. Copy
data from all those temp files into one big file as and when you desire.
