HDFS Thrift method 'write' does not transfer bytes

Hi,

I try to copy a local 'gz' file via the HDFS Thrift method 'write' to HDFS. Unfortunately the method accepts only a 'String' as data and converts this to UTF8. I need t transfer bytes for the gz file.

Can anybody help me?

I believe you are right. It might help to check out the Thrift documentation
at http://wiki.apache.org/thrift/ and then enhance the hadoop.thriftfs API
to store/retrieve bytes.

thanks
