<section>
<h2><a name="Overview"></a>Overview</h2>
<p>libhdfs is a JNI based C API for Hadoop&#x2019;s Distributed File System (HDFS). It provides C APIs to a subset of the HDFS APIs to manipulate HDFS files and the filesystem. libhdfs is part of the Hadoop distribution and comes pre-compiled in <code>$HADOOP_HDFS_HOME/lib/native/libhdfs.so</code> . libhdfs is compatible with Windows and can be built on Windows by running <code>mvn compile</code> within the <code>hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs</code> directory of the source tree.</p></section><section>
<h2><a name="The_APIs"></a>The APIs</h2>
<p>The libhdfs APIs are a subset of the <a href="../../api/org/apache/hadoop/fs/FileSystem.html">Hadoop FileSystem APIs</a>.</p>
<p>The header file for libhdfs describes each API in detail and is available in <code>$HADOOP_HDFS_HOME/include/hdfs.h</code>.</p></section><section>
<h2><a name="A_Sample_Program"></a>A Sample Program</h2>
<div class="source">
<div class="source">
<pre>#include &quot;hdfs.h&quot;
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
hdfsFS fs = hdfsConnect(&quot;default&quot;, 0);
const char* writePath = &quot;/tmp/testfile.txt&quot;;
hdfsFile writeFile = hdfsOpenFile(fs, writePath, O_WRONLY |O_CREAT, 0, 0, 0);
if(!writeFile) {
fprintf(stderr, &quot;Failed to open %s for writing!\n&quot;, writePath);
exit(-1);
}
char* buffer = &quot;Hello, World!&quot;;
tSize num_written_bytes = hdfsWrite(fs, writeFile, (void*)buffer, strlen(buffer)+1);
if (hdfsFlush(fs, writeFile)) {
fprintf(stderr, &quot;Failed to 'flush' %s\n&quot;, writePath);
exit(-1);
}
hdfsCloseFile(fs, writeFile);
}
</pre></div></div>
</section><section>
<h2><a name="How_To_Link_With_The_Library"></a>How To Link With The Library</h2>
<p>See the CMake file for <code>test_libhdfs_ops.c</code> in the libhdfs source directory (<code>hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/CMakeLists.txt</code>) or something like: <code>gcc above_sample.c -I$HADOOP_HDFS_HOME/include -L$HADOOP_HDFS_HOME/lib/native -lhdfs -o above_sample</code></p></section><section>
<h2><a name="Common_Problems"></a>Common Problems</h2>
<p>The most common problem is the <code>CLASSPATH</code> is not set properly when calling a program that uses libhdfs. Make sure you set it to all the Hadoop jars needed to run Hadoop itself as well as the right configuration directory containing <code>hdfs-site.xml</code>. Wildcard entries in the <code>CLASSPATH</code> are now supported by libhdfs.</p></section><section>
<h2><a name="Thread_Safe"></a>Thread Safe</h2>
<p>libdhfs is thread safe.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Concurrency and Hadoop FS &#x201c;handles&#x201d;</p>
<p>The Hadoop FS implementation includes an FS handle cache which caches based on the URI of the namenode along with the user connecting. So, all calls to <code>hdfsConnect</code> will return the same handle but calls to <code>hdfsConnectAsUser</code> with different users will return different handles. But, since HDFS client handles are completely thread safe, this has no bearing on concurrency.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Concurrency and libhdfs/JNI</p>
<p>The libhdfs calls to JNI should always be creating thread local storage, so (in theory), libhdfs should be as thread safe as the underlying calls to the Hadoop FS.</p>
</li>
</ul></section>
