`hdfs-to-local`

This project is deprecated in favor of the version in GitLab.

See https://gitlab.com/guangie88/hdfs-to-local.

Performs a recursive directory copy from HDFS host to local storage. Does not require any Hadoop binaries since it uses Go native implemented HDFS client library.

Requirements

go + glide OR
docker + docker-compose that is able to run Compose v2 file

How to Build

Native Build

Install the go dependencies for this project into vendor/:

glide install

Build and you are done:

go build

The compiled executable will be located at the repository root directory, and is named hdfs-to-local.

For fully statically linked executable, use the following command instead:

CGO_ENABLED=0 go build

Docker Build

This alternative method is recommended if you do not wish to up go, glide or the environment variable GOPATH, or prefer not to have this repository files not within the GOPATH.

Run the following for full compilation:

docker-compose run -u $UID:`id -g` all

Note that -u $UID:`id -g` is optional, but useful to perform the compilation under your current user's UID and GID.

The compiled executable will be located at the repository root directory, and is named hdfs-to-local. The executable is always fully statically linked.

The following commands are available to run for docker-compose:

all
- Performs glide install, followed by go build.
- e.g. docker-compose run -u $UID:`id -g` all
install
- Performs only glide install.
- e.g. docker-compose run -u $UID:`id -g` install
build
- Performs only go build.
- e.g. docker-compose run -u $UID:`id -g` build
clean
- Performs go clean.
- e.g. docker-compose run -u $UID:`id -g` clean
update
- Performs glide update. Not recommended since it updates the dependencies.
- e.g. docker-compose run -u $UID:`id -g` update

How to Run

Assuming HDFS server is running on port 9000 locally, and there is a directory at /data:

./hdfs-to-local --conf config/example.toml
