access HDFS file from outside the Hadoop Cluster

[Yang Xiaoliang <ya...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I want to write a file into HDFS from outside the Hadoop cluser.
The hadoop runs on nodeA, nodeB, nodeC, ...
but my program runs on another node on the same local network (but not
in the hadoop cluser),
so, how to write a file into the HDFS from this node?

Could anyone help?
Thanks!

You need to have the hdfs classes on your client machine, which will provide you with the HDFS API to read/write from the cluster. Your client machine does not have to be a part of the cluster.
