Can multiple clients write into an HDFS file concurrently?



Can multiple clients write into an HDFS file concurrently?..

Answer / Atul Raj

No, by default HDFS does not allow multiple clients to write into the same file concurrently. To enable this, you can configure HDFS to use the 'append' mode using the `dfs.client.write.operation.XSync` property.
