NAME

Net::Hadoop::WebHDFS - Client library for Hadoop WebHDFS and HttpFs

SYNOPSIS

  use Net::Hadoop::WebHDFS;
  my $client = Net::Hadoop::WebHDFS->new( host => 'hostname.local', port => 50070 );

  my $statusArrayRef = $client->list('/');

  my $contentData = $client->read('/data.txt');

  $client->create('/foo/bar/data.bin', $bindata);

DESCRIPTION

This module supports WebHDFS v1 on Hadoop 1.x (and CDH4.0.0 or later), and HttpFs on Hadoop 2.x (and CDH4 or later). WebHDFS/HttpFs has two authentication methods: pseudo authentication and Kerberos, but this module supports pseudo authentication only.

METHODS

Net::Hadoop::WebHDFS class method and instance methods.

CLASS METHODS

$client->delegation_token( $action, $path, @args )

This is a method wrapping the multiple methods for delegation token handling.

    my $token = $client->delegation_token( get => $path );
    print "Token: $token\n";

    my $milisec = $client->delegation_token( renew => $token );
    printf "Token expiration renewed until %s\n", scalar localtime $milisec / 1000;

    if ( $client->delegation_token( cancel => $token ) ) {
        print "Token cancelled. There will be a new one created.\n";
        my $token_new = $client->delegation_token( get => $path );
        print "New token: $token_new\n";
        printf "New token is %s\n", $token_new eq $token ? 'the same' : 'different';
    }
    else {
        warn "Failed to cancel token $token!";
    }

$client->delegation_token( get => $path, [renewer => $username, service => $service, kind => $kind ] ) :Str )

Returns the delegation token id for the specified path.

$client->delegation_token( renew => $token ) :Int

Returns the new expiration time for the specified delegation token in miliseconds.

$client->delegation_token( cancel => $token ) :Bool

Cancels the specified delegation token (which will force a new one to be created.

$client->snapshot( $path, $action => @args )

This is a method wrapping the multiple methods for snapshot handling.

$client->snapshot( $path, create => [, $snapshotname ] ) :Str

Creates a new snaphot on the specified path and returns the name of the snapshot.

$client->snapshot( $path, rename => $oldsnapshotname, $snapshotname ) :Bool

Renames the snaphot.

$client->snapshot( $path, delete => $snapshotname ) :Bool

$client->xattr( $path, $action, @args )

This is a method wrapping the multiple methods for extended attributes handling.

    my @attr_names = $client->xattr( $path, 'list' );

    my %attr = $client->xattr( $path, get => flatten => 1 );

    if ( ! exists $attr{'user.bar'} ) {
        warn "set user.bar = 42\n";
        $client->xattr( $path, create => 'user.bar' => 42 )

        ;
    }

$client->xattr( $path, get => [, names => \@attr_names] [, flatten => 1 ] [, encoding => $enc ] ) :Struct

Returns the extended attribute key/value pairs on a path. The default data set is an array of hashrefs with the pairs, however if you set <flatten> to a true value then a simple hash will be returned.

It is also possible to fetch a subset of the attributes if you specify the names of them with the <names> option.

$client->xattr( $path, 'list' ) :List

This method will return the names of all the attributes set on <$path>.

$client->xattr( $path, create => $attr_name => $value ) :Bool

It is possible to create a new extended attribute on a path with this method.

$client->xattr( $path, replace => $attr_name => $value ) :Bool

It is possible to replace the value of an existing extended attribute on a path with this method.

$client->xattr( $path, remove => $attr_name ) :Bool

Deletes the speficied attribute on <$path>.

EXTENSIONS

$client->exists($path) :Bool

Returns the stat() hash if successful, and false otherwise. Dies on interface errors.

$client->find($path, $callback, $options_hash)

Loops recursively over the specified path:

    $client->find(
        '/user',
        sub {
            my($cwd, $path) = @_;
            my $date = localtime $path->{modificationTime};
            my $type = $path->{type} eq q{DIRECTORY} ? "[dir ]" : "[file]";
            my $size = sprintf "% 10s",
                                $path->{blockSize}
                                    ? sprintf "%.2f MB", $path->{blockSize} / 1024**2
                                    : 0;
            print "$type $size $path->{permission} $path->{owner}:$path->{group} $cwd/$path->{pathSuffix}\n";
        },
        { # optional
            re_ignore => qr{
                            \A      # Filter some filenames out even before reaching the callback
                                [_] # logs and meta data, java junk, _SUCCESS files, etc.
                        }xms,
