The HadoopDFS class provides easy access to files stored in HDFS clusters.

Syntax

class cloudstorage.HadoopDFS

Remarks

The HadoopDFS class offers an easy-to-use API compatible with any Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS) cluster that exposes Hadoop's standard WebHDFS REST API. Capabilities include uploading and downloading files, strong encryption support, creating folders, file manipulation and organization, and more.

Authentication

First, set the url property to the base WebHDFS URL of the server (see url for more details).

Depending on how the server is configured, there are a few different authentication mechanisms that might be used; or, the server might not require authentication at all). Refer to the auth_mechanism property for more information about configuring the class to authenticate correctly.

Addressing Resources

HDFS addresses resources (files, directories, and symlinks) using Linux-style absolute paths. Unless otherwise specified, the class always works in terms of absolute paths, and will always prepend a forward slash (/) to any path passed to it that does not already start with one.

Listing Directory Contents

list_resources lists resources (files, directories, and symlinks) within the specified directory. Calling this method will fire the on_resource_list event once for each resource, and will also populate the Resource* properties.

 
 Copy
// ResourceList event handler.
hdfs.OnResourceList += (s, e) => {
  Console.WriteLine(e.Name);
};

hdfs.ListResources("/work_files/serious_business/cats");

for (int i = 0; i < hdfs.Resources.Count; i++) {
  // Process resources here.
}

Downloading Files

The download_file method downloads files.

If local_file is set, the file will be saved to the specified location; otherwise, the file data will be held by resource_data.

To download and decrypt an encrypted file, set encryption_algorithm and encryption_password before calling this method.

Download Notes

In the simplest use-case, downloading a file looks like this:

 
 Copy
hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Downloads

The class also supports resuming failed downloads by using the start_byte property. If a download is interrupted, set start_byte to the appropriate offset before calling this method to resume the download.

 
 Copy
string downloadFile = "../MyFile.zip";
hdfs.LocalFile = downloadFile;
hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:

//Get the size of the partially downloaded file
hdfs.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length;
hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Encrypted File Downloads

Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when local_file was set in the initial download attempt.

If local_file is set when beginning an encrypted download, the class creates a temporary file in TempPath to hold the encrypted data until the download is complete. If the download is interrupted, DownloadTempFile will be populated with the path of the temporary file that holds the partial data.

To resume, DownloadTempFile must be populated, along with start_byte, to allow the remainder of the encrypted data to be downloaded. Once the encrypted data is downloaded it will be decrypted and written to local_file.

 
 Copy
hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
hdfs.EncryptionPassword = "password";
hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:

//Get the size of the partially download temp file
hdfs.StartByte = new FileInfo(hdfs.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length;
hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

Uploading Files

The upload_file method uploads new files.

If local_file is set the file will be uploaded from the specified path. If local_file is not set the data in resource_data will be used.

To encrypt the file before uploading it, set encryption_algorithm and encryption_password.

 
 Copy
hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
hdfs.UploadFile("/MyFile.zip");

Additional Functionality

The HadoopDFS class offers advanced functionality beyond simple uploads and downloads. For instance:

• Encrypt and decrypt files using the encryption_algorithm and encryption_password properties.
• Basic file and folder manipulation and organization using methods such as append_file, delete_resource, make_directory, move_resource, and truncate_file.
• Advanced file and directory manipulation with set_file_replication, set_owner, set_permission, and set_times.
• Retrieval of both general file/directory information, as well as directory quota information, using get_resource_info and get_dir_summary.
• Execute any arbitrary WebHDFS operation with ease using the do_custom_op method.
• And more!

auth_mechanism Property

The authentication mechanism to use when connecting to the server.

Syntax

def get_auth_mechanism() -> int: ...
def set_auth_mechanism(value: int) -> None: ...

auth_mechanism = property(get_auth_mechanism, set_auth_mechanism)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property controls what authentication mechanism the class should use when connecting to the server.

Possible values are:

When set to 1 (amSimple), the value of the user property is automatically sent in every request using the user.name query parameter.

When set to 2 (amBasic), 3 (amNTLM), or 4 (amNegotiate), the values held by the user and password properties will be used to perform Basic, NTLM, or Negotiate (e.g., Kerberos SPNEGO) authentication.

When set to 5 (amOAuth), the value of the authorization property is automatically sent in every request using the Authorization HTTP header.

authorization Property

OAuth 2.0 Authorization Token.

Syntax

def get_authorization() -> str: ...
def set_authorization(value: str) -> None: ...

authorization = property(get_authorization, set_authorization)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This class supports authentication via OAuth 2.0. First, perform OAuth authentication using the OAuth* properties, using the OAuth class or a separate process. If using the OAuth* properties, then the authorization property will not be used.

Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN

Refer to auth_mechanism for more information.

dir_summary_dir_count Property

The number of subdirectories within the directory.

Syntax

def get_dir_summary_dir_count() -> int: ...

dir_summary_dir_count = property(get_dir_summary_dir_count, None)

Default Value

0

Remarks

The number of subdirectories within the directory.

This property reflects the number of subdirectories contained within the directory, calculated recursively. Note that this count will always include the directory itself; i.e., this property would return 1 for a directory with no subfolders.

This property is read-only.

dir_summary_file_count Property

The number of files within the directory.

Syntax

def get_dir_summary_file_count() -> int: ...

dir_summary_file_count = property(get_dir_summary_file_count, None)

Default Value

0

Remarks

The number of files within the directory.

This property reflects the number of files contained within the directory, calculated recursively.

This property is read-only.

dir_summary_name_quota Property

The name quota imposed on the directory.

Syntax

def get_dir_summary_name_quota() -> int: ...

dir_summary_name_quota = property(get_dir_summary_name_quota, None)

Default Value

-1

Remarks

The name quota imposed on the directory.

This property reflects the name quota imposed on the directory, or -1 if the directory doesn't have a name quota set.

A name quota limits the number of files and directories that can be created within a directory (calculated recursively). Note that a directory's own name is counted against its own quota, so the minimum name quota that may be applied to a directory is 1 (which will force the directory to stay empty).

This property is read-only.

dir_summary_size Property

The total size of the directory contents, excluding file replicas.

Syntax

def get_dir_summary_size() -> int: ...

dir_summary_size = property(get_dir_summary_size, None)

Default Value

0

Remarks

The total size of the directory contents, excluding file replicas.

This property reflects the total size (in bytes) of the directory's contents, calculated recursively.

Unlike dir_summary_space_used, this property's value does not take file replicas into account, and thus should not be interpreted as the actual number of bytes the directory's contents use on disk.

This property is read-only.

dir_summary_space_quota Property

The space quota imposed on the directory.

Syntax

def get_dir_summary_space_quota() -> int: ...

dir_summary_space_quota = property(get_dir_summary_space_quota, None)

Default Value

-1

Remarks

The space quota imposed on the directory.

This property reflects the overall space quota (in bytes) imposed on the directory, or -1 if the directory doesn't have a space quota set.

A space quota limits the total number of bytes the files within a directory (or any of its subdirectories) may consume across all storage mediums. Space quotas are tracked separately from each directory's various dir_summary_storage_quotas, and only one space quota may be applied to any given directory.

This property is read-only.

dir_summary_space_used Property

The total amount of space the directory consumes on disk.

Syntax

def get_dir_summary_space_used() -> int: ...

dir_summary_space_used = property(get_dir_summary_space_used, None)

Default Value

0

Remarks

The total amount of space the directory consumes on disk.

This property reflects the total amount of space (in bytes) that the directory's contents, calculated recursively, consume on disk.

Unlike dir_summary_size, this property's value includes space consumed by file replicas.

This property is read-only.

dir_summary_storage_quota Property

The storage type quota imposed on the directory.

Syntax

def get_dir_summary_storage_quota() -> int: ...

dir_summary_storage_quota = property(get_dir_summary_storage_quota, None)

Default Value

-1

Remarks

The storage type quota imposed on the directory.

This property reflects the storage type quota (in bytes) imposed on the directory for the dir_summary_storage_quota_type currently selected by dir_summary_storage_quota_index.

Storage type quotas limit the number of bytes that files within a directory (or any of its subdirectories) may consume on specific types of storage mediums. Multiple storage type quotas, each associated with a different type of storage medium, may be imposed on a directory simultaneously. Storage type quotas are tracked separately from a directory's overall dir_summary_space_quota.

Use dir_summary_storage_quota_count to determine how many storage type quotas are imposed on a directory, and dir_summary_storage_quota_index to select which storage type quota's information to reflect in the dir_summary_storage_quota, dir_summary_storage_quota_type, and dir_summary_storage_quota_used properties.

Note that it is possible for a storage type quota to be imposed on a directory without actually restricting any space usage, in which case this property's value will be -1.

This property is read-only.

dir_summary_storage_quota_count Property

The number of storage type quotas associated with the directory.

Syntax

def get_dir_summary_storage_quota_count() -> int: ...

dir_summary_storage_quota_count = property(get_dir_summary_storage_quota_count, None)

Default Value

0

Remarks

The number of storage type quotas associated with the directory.

This property reflects the number of storage type quotas associated with the directory. Use the dir_summary_storage_quota_index property to select which storage type quota's information to reflect in the dir_summary_storage_quota, dir_summary_storage_quota_type, and dir_summary_storage_quota_used properties.

This property is read-only.

dir_summary_storage_quota_index Property

Selects the storage type quota to show information for.

Syntax

def get_dir_summary_storage_quota_index() -> int: ...

dir_summary_storage_quota_index = property(get_dir_summary_storage_quota_index, None)

Default Value

-1

Remarks

Selects the storage type quota to show information for.

This property selects which storage type quota's information to reflect in the dir_summary_storage_quota, dir_summary_storage_quota_type, and dir_summary_storage_quota_used properties; those properties are re-populated when this property's value is changed.

Valid values for this property are -1 to (dir_summary_storage_quota_count - 1); invalid indices are ignored. The default value is 0 if dir_summary_storage_quota_count is greater than 0, and -1 otherwise.

This property is read-only.

dir_summary_storage_quota_type Property

The storage type associated with the storage type quota.

Syntax

def get_dir_summary_storage_quota_type() -> str: ...

dir_summary_storage_quota_type = property(get_dir_summary_storage_quota_type, None)

Default Value

""

Remarks

The storage type associated with the storage type quota.

def set_encryption_algorithm(value: int) -> None: ...

encryption_algorithm = property(get_encryption_algorithm, set_encryption_algorithm)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies the encryption algorithm to be used. The maximum allowable key size is automatically used for the selected algorithm. Possible values are:

encryption_password Property

The encryption password.

Syntax

def get_encryption_password() -> str: ...
def set_encryption_password(value: str) -> None: ...

encryption_password = property(get_encryption_password, set_encryption_password)

Default Value

""

Remarks

If this property is populated when upload_file or download_file is called, the class will attempt to encrypt or decrypt the data before uploading or after downloading it.

The class uses the value specified here to generate the necessary encryption Key and IV values using the PKCS5 password digest algorithm. This provides a simpler alternative to creating and managing Key and IV values directly.

However, it is also possible to explicitly specify the Key and IV values to use by setting the EncryptionKey and EncryptionIV configuration settings. This may be necessary if, e.g., the data needs to be encrypted/decrypted by another utility which generates Key and IV values differently.

firewall_auto_detect Property

def set_firewall_host(value: str) -> None: ...

firewall_host = property(get_firewall_host, set_firewall_host)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains the name or IP address of firewall (optional). If a firewall_host is given, the requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.

If this property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, this property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, the class fails with an error.

firewall_password Property

This property contains a password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.

Syntax

def get_firewall_password() -> str: ...
def set_firewall_password(value: str) -> None: ...

firewall_password = property(get_firewall_password, set_firewall_password)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property contains a password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall. If firewall_host is specified, the firewall_user and firewall_password properties are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall.

proxy_auth_scheme Property

This property is used to tell the class which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy.

Syntax

def get_proxy_auth_scheme() -> int: ...
def set_proxy_auth_scheme(value: int) -> None: ...

proxy_auth_scheme = property(get_proxy_auth_scheme, set_proxy_auth_scheme)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property is used to tell the class which type of authorization to perform when connecting to the proxy. This is used only when the proxy_user and proxy_password properties are set.

proxy_auth_scheme should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is expected.

By default, proxy_auth_scheme is authBasic (0), and if the proxy_user and proxy_password properties are set, the component will attempt basic authentication.

If proxy_auth_scheme is set to authDigest (1), digest authentication will be attempted instead.

If proxy_auth_scheme is set to authProprietary (2), then the authorization token will not be generated by the class. Look at the configuration file for the class being used to find more information about manually setting this token.

If proxy_auth_scheme is set to authNtlm (4), NTLM authentication will be used.

For security reasons, setting this property will clear the values of proxy_user and proxy_password.

Syntax

def get_ssl_accept_server_cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...
def set_ssl_accept_server_cert_encoded(value: bytes) -> None: ...

ssl_accept_server_cert_encoded = property(get_ssl_accept_server_cert_encoded, set_ssl_accept_server_cert_encoded)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The ssl_accept_server_cert_store and ssl_accept_server_cert_subject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When ssl_accept_server_cert_encoded is set, a search is initiated in the current ssl_accept_server_cert_store for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, ssl_accept_server_cert_subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, ssl_accept_server_cert_subject is set to an empty string.

ssl_cert_encoded Property

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

def get_ssl_cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...
def set_ssl_cert_encoded(value: bytes) -> None: ...

ssl_cert_encoded = property(get_ssl_cert_encoded, set_ssl_cert_encoded)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The ssl_cert_store and ssl_cert_subject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

Default Value

"MY"

Remarks

This is the name of the certificate store for the client certificate.

The ssl_cert_store_type property denotes the type of the certificate store specified by ssl_cert_store. If the store is password protected, specify the password in ssl_cert_store_password.

ssl_cert_store is used in conjunction with the ssl_cert_subject property to specify client certificates. If ssl_cert_store has a value, and ssl_cert_subject or ssl_cert_encoded is set, a search for a certificate is initiated. Please see the ssl_cert_subject property for details.

Designations of certificate stores are platform dependent.

The following designations are the most common User and Machine certificate stores in Windows:

When the certificate store type is PFXFile, this property must be set to the name of the file. When the type is PFXBlob, the property must be set to the binary contents of a PFX file (i.e., PKCS#12 certificate store).

ssl_cert_store_password Property

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

Syntax

def get_ssl_cert_store_password() -> str: ...
def set_ssl_cert_store_password(value: str) -> None: ...

ssl_cert_store_password = property(get_ssl_cert_store_password, set_ssl_cert_store_password)

Default Value

""

Remarks

Default Value

0

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used, the class will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

 
 Copy
certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11;
certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => {
  secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded;
};
certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll";
certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN
certmgr.ListStoreCertificates();

sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*");

Syntax

def get_ssl_cert_subject() -> str: ...
def set_ssl_cert_subject(value: str) -> None: ...

ssl_cert_subject = property(get_ssl_cert_subject, set_ssl_cert_subject)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

ssl_provider Property

This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.

Syntax

def get_ssl_provider() -> int: ...
def set_ssl_provider(value: int) -> None: ...

ssl_provider = property(get_ssl_provider, set_ssl_provider)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic) the class will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are:

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The class will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected, on Windows the class will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS the class will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols the internal implementation is used on all platforms.

ssl_server_cert_encoded Property

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

def get_ssl_server_cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...

ssl_server_cert_encoded = property(get_ssl_server_cert_encoded, None)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The ssl_server_cert_store and ssl_server_cert_subject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When ssl_server_cert_encoded is set, a search is initiated in the current ssl_server_cert_store for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, ssl_server_cert_subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, ssl_server_cert_subject is set to an empty string.

This property is read-only.

start_byte Property

The byte offset from which to start downloading a file.

Syntax

def get_start_byte() -> int: ...
def set_start_byte(value: int) -> None: ...

start_byte = property(get_start_byte, set_start_byte)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies an offset (in bytes) from which to start reading a file when download_file is called. It can be used in tandem with read_bytes to specify a specific range of the file to download.

timeout Property

A timeout for the class.

Syntax

def get_timeout() -> int: ...
def set_timeout(value: int) -> None: ...

timeout = property(get_timeout, set_timeout)

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If timeout is set to a positive value, the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The class will use do_events to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class fails with an error.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the timeout property is 60 seconds.

url Property

The URL of the Hadoop WebHDFS server.

Syntax

def get_url() -> str: ...
def set_url(value: str) -> None: ...

url = property(get_url, set_url)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the URL of the Hadoop WebHDFS server to make requests against.

A full WebHDFS URL looks like http[s]://<HOST>:<PORT>/webhdfs/v1. Anytime this property is set to a non-empty string, the class will automatically append /webhdfs/v1 to its value (if necessary).

The class automatically detects whether to secure the connection using SSL/TLS based on whether the url begins with http (not secured) or https (secured).

user Property

The user name to use for authentication.

Syntax

def get_user() -> str: ...
def set_user(value: str) -> None: ...

user = property(get_user, set_user)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property specifies the user name to use for authentication.

Refer to auth_mechanism for more information.

add_query_param Method

Adds a query parameter to the QueryParams properties.

Syntax

def add_query_param(name: str, value: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method is used to add a query parameter to the QueryaParam* properties. Name specifies the name of the parameter, and Value specifies the value of the parameter.

All specified Values will be URL encoded by the class automatically. Consult the service documentation for details on the available parameters.

append_file Method

Appends data to an existing file.

Syntax

def append_file(file_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method appends data to the existing file at FilePath.

If local_file is set data will be read from the file at the specified path. If local_file is not set the data in resource_data will be used.

calc_authorization Method

Calculates the Authorization header based on provided credentials.

Syntax

def calc_authorization() -> None: ...

Remarks

This method calculates the authorization value using the values provided in auth_scheme, user and password.

In most cases this method does not need to be called. The class will automatically calculate any required authorization values when a method is called such as get or post.

This method may be useful in cases where the authorization value needs to be calculated prior to sending a request.

config Method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

delete_resource Method

Deletes a resource.

Syntax

def delete_resource(path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method deletes the resource at Path.

The RecursiveDelete configuration setting can be used to control whether this method will recursively delete non-empty directories (it is enabled by default).

do_custom_op Method

Executes an arbitrary WebHDFS operation.

Syntax

def do_custom_op(http_method: str, request_path: str, op: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method can be used to execute any WebHDFS operation the class does not explicitly implement.

Valid values for HttpMethod are:

• GET (default if empty)
• POST
• PUT
• DELETE

RequestPath must either be a valid resource path, or empty string. Op must be a valid WebHDFS operation (refer to the Hadoop WebHDFS documentation for a full list of supported operations).

Usage

When this method is called, the class will do the following:

1. Build a request URL using url, RequestPath, Op, and the query parameters held by the QueryParam* properties.
2. Send the request using the given HttpMethod, the request URL built in step 1, the headers held by other_headers, and the currently-configured authentication (if any; refer to auth_mechanism for more information). The request is always sent with an empty body.
3. Store the response headers in the ParsedHeader* properties, and the response body in the specified local_file, or resource_data (using the same logic as download_file).

If the response body is JSON data, the XPath, XText, and other X* configuration settings can then be used to navigate and extract information from it.

download_file Method

Downloads a file.

Syntax

def download_file(file_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method downloads the file at FilePath.

If local_file is set, the file will be saved to the specified location; otherwise, the file data will be held by resource_data.

To download and decrypt an encrypted file, set encryption_algorithm and encryption_password before calling this method.

Download Notes

In the simplest use-case, downloading a file looks like this:

 
 Copy
hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Downloads

The class also supports resuming failed downloads by using the start_byte property. If a download is interrupted, set start_byte to the appropriate offset before calling this method to resume the download.

 
 Copy
string downloadFile = "../MyFile.zip";
hdfs.LocalFile = downloadFile;
hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:

//Get the size of the partially downloaded file
hdfs.StartByte = new FileInfo(downloadFile).Length;
hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

Resuming Encrypted File Downloads

Resuming encrypted file downloads is only supported when local_file was set in the initial download attempt.

If local_file is set when beginning an encrypted download, the class creates a temporary file in TempPath to hold the encrypted data until the download is complete. If the download is interrupted, DownloadTempFile will be populated with the path of the temporary file that holds the partial data.

To resume, DownloadTempFile must be populated, along with start_byte, to allow the remainder of the encrypted data to be downloaded. Once the encrypted data is downloaded it will be decrypted and written to local_file.

 
 Copy
hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
hdfs.EncryptionPassword = "password";
hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

//The transfer is interrupted and DownloadFile() above fails. Later, resume the download:

//Get the size of the partially download temp file
hdfs.StartByte = new FileInfo(hdfs.Config("DownloadTempFile")).Length;
hdfs.DownloadFile(hdfs.Resources[0].Path);

get_dir_summary Method

Gets a content summary for a directory.

Syntax

def get_dir_summary(dir_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method gets a content summary for the directory at DirPath, populating the DirSummary* properties.

DirPath may be empty to get a content summary for the root directory (/).

get_resource_info Method

Gets information about a specific resource.

Syntax

def get_resource_info(path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method gets information about the resource at Path. Path may be empty to get information about the root directory (/).

Calling this method will fire the on_resource_list event, and will populate the Resource* properties with a single item (clearing any previously-held items in the process).

interrupt Method

Interrupt the current method.

Syntax

def interrupt() -> None: ...

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

join_file_blocks Method

Joins multiple files' blocks together into one file.

Syntax

def join_file_blocks(target_file_path: str, source_file_paths: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method joins the blocks from the files at one or more SourceFilePaths onto the end of the file at TargetFilePath. (If this operations is successful, the original source files will no longer be accessible.)

The order of the source files' paths in SourceFilePaths determines the order in which their blocks are joined onto the file at TargetFilePath.

Usage Constraints

The server imposes a number of constraints that must be satisfied in order for the join operation to complete successfully.

TargetFilePath and SourceFilePaths must both be non-empty.

SourceFilePaths must be specified as a comma-separated list of source file paths, with no duplicates or paths that match TargetFilePath.

Additionally, all files referred to by both TargetFilePath and SourceFilePaths must satisfy the following constraints:

• All files must already exist.
• All files must be located in the exact same directory (i.e., all files must be siblings).
• The block size of all source files must be less than or equal to the block size of the target file.

If any of the above constraints are not satisfied, the server will return an error.

The class will take care of verifying that all parameters are non-empty and that all paths begin with a forward slash (/).

list_resources Method

Lists resources in a given directory.

Syntax

def list_resources(dir_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method lists resources within the directory at DirPath.

Calling this method will fire the on_resource_list event once for each resource, and will also populate the Resource* properties.

DirPath may be empty to list resources in the root directory (/).

 
 Copy
// ResourceList event handler.
hdfs.OnResourceList += (s, e) => {
  Console.WriteLine(e.Name);
};

hdfs.ListResources("/work_files/serious_business/cats");

for (int i = 0; i < hdfs.Resources.Count; i++) {
  // Process resources here.
}

make_directory Method

Makes a directory.

Syntax

def make_directory(new_dir_path: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method makes a new directory at NewDirPath and returns the full path of the new directory. Any non-existent parent directories will also be created.

If the CreatePermission configuration setting is non-empty, the directory will be created with the permission it specifies. Otherwise, the server's default (755) will be used.

move_resource Method

Moves a resource.

Syntax

def move_resource(from_path: str, to_path: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method moves the resource at FromPath to ToPath.

reset Method

Resets the class to its initial state.

Syntax

set_file_replication Method

Sets the replication factor for a file.

Syntax

def set_file_replication(file_path: str, replication: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method sets the replication factor for the file at FilePath to Replication.

Valid values for Replication are 1 through 32767 (inclusive); or 0 to reset the file's replication factor back to the server default.

set_owner Method

Sets a resource's owner and/or group.

Syntax

def set_owner(path: str, owner: str, group: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method set the owner and/or group of the resource at Path to the given values.

If non-empty, Owner must be a valid user name, and Group must be a valid group name. If either parameter is empty, the file's current value will remain unchanged. (If both parameters are empty, no request is sent.)

set_permission Method

Assigns the given permission to a resource.

Syntax

def set_permission(path: str, permission: str) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method assigns the given Permission to the resource at Path.

Permission must be formatted as an octal permission string. If Permission is empty string, the resource's permission will be reset to the server default (755).

set_times Method

Sets a resource's modification and/or access times.

Syntax

def set_times(path: str, modified_time: int, access_time: int) -> None: ...

Remarks

This method sets the modification and/or access times of the resource at Path to the given values.

Both ModifiedTime and AccessTime should be specified as a number of milliseconds relative to the Unix epoch. If either parameter is negative, the file's current value will remain unchanged. (If both parameters are negative, no request is sent.)

truncate_file Method

Truncates a file to a given size.

Syntax

def truncate_file(file_path: str, new_size: int) -> bool: ...

Remarks

This method truncates the file at FilePath to the given NewSize (specified in bytes). NewSize must not be less than 0 or greater than the file's current size.

This method returns True if the file has been truncated successfully and is immediately ready for further modifications.

This method returns False if the server is still in the process of truncating the file (this could happen, e.g., if the server needs to truncate multiple replicas of the file). In this case, the server will reject any further attempts to modify the file until it has finished truncating it. Monitor the file's size using get_resource_info to determine when the truncation process has finished.

upload_file Method

Uploads a file.

Syntax

def upload_file(new_file_path: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

This method uploads a new file to NewFilePath and returns the full path of the uploaded file. If a file already exists on the server at NewFilePath, the overwrite property controls whether the server will overwrite the file or return an error.

If the CreatePermission configuration setting is non-empty, the file will be created with the permission it specifies. Otherwise, the server's default (755) will be used.

If local_file is set the file will be uploaded from the specified path. If local_file is not set the data in resource_data will be used.

To encrypt the file before uploading it, set encryption_algorithm and encryption_password.

 
 Copy
hdfs.LocalFile = "../MyFile.zip";
hdfs.UploadFile("/MyFile.zip");

on_end_transfer Event

This event fires when a document finishes transferring.

Syntax

def on_header(event_hook: Callable[[HadoopDFSHeaderEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The Field parameter contains the name of the HTTP header (which is the same as it is delivered). The Value parameter contains the header contents.

If the header line being retrieved is a continuation header line, then the Field parameter contains "" (empty string).

on_log Event

This event fires once for each log message.

Syntax

class HadoopDFSLogEventParams(object):
  @property
  def log_level() -> int: ...

  @property
  def message() -> str: ...

  @property
  def log_type() -> str: ...

# In class HadoopDFS:
@property
def on_log() -> Callable[[HadoopDFSLogEventParams], None]: ...
@on_log.setter
def on_log(event_hook: Callable[[HadoopDFSLogEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event fires once for each log message generated by the class. The verbosity is controlled by the LogLevel setting.

LogLevel indicates the level of message. Possible values are as follows:

The value 1 (Info) logs basic information, including the URL, HTTP version, and status details.

The value 2 (Verbose) logs additional information about the request and response.

The value 3 (Debug) logs the headers and body for both the request and response, as well as additional debug information (if any).

Message is the log entry.

LogType identifies the type of log entry. Possible values are as follows:

• "Info"
• "RequestHeaders"
• "ResponseHeaders"
• "RequestBody"
• "ResponseBody"
• "ProxyRequest"
• "ProxyResponse"
• "FirewallRequest"
• "FirewallResponse"

on_progress Event

Fires during an upload or download to indicate transfer progress.

Syntax

class HadoopDFSProgressEventParams(object):
  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

  @property
  def bytes_transferred() -> int: ...

  @property
  def total_bytes() -> int: ...

  @property
  def percent_done() -> int: ...

# In class HadoopDFS:
@property
def on_progress() -> Callable[[HadoopDFSProgressEventParams], None]: ...
@on_progress.setter
def on_progress(event_hook: Callable[[HadoopDFSProgressEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event fires during an upload or download to indicate the progress of the transfer of the entire request. By default, this event will fire each time PercentDone increases by one percent; the ProgressStep configuration setting can be used to alter this behavior.

Direction indicates whether the transfer is an upload (0) or a download (1).

BytesTransferred reflects the number of bytes that have been transferred so far, or 0 if the transfer is starting (however, see note below).

TotalBytes reflects the total number of bytes that are to be transferred, or -1 if the total is unknown. This amount includes the size of everything in the request like HTTP headers.

PercentDone reflects the overall progress of the transfer, or -1 if the progress cannot be calculated.

Note: By default, the class tracks transfer progress absolutely. If a transfer is interrupted and later resumed, the values reported by this event upon and after resumption will account for the data that was transferred before the interruption.

For example, if 10MB of data was successfully transferred before the interruption, then this event will fire with a BytesTransferred value of 10485760 (10MB) when the transfer is first resumed, and then continue to fire with successively greater values as usual.

This behavior can be changed by disabling the ProgressAbsolute configuration setting, in which case the class will treat resumed transfers as "new" transfers. In this case, the BytesTransferred parameter will always be 0 the first time this event fires, regardless of whether the transfer is new or being resumed.

on_resource_list Event

Fires once for each resource returned when listing resources.

Syntax

class HadoopDFSResourceListEventParams(object):
  @property
  def name() -> str: ...

  @property
  def path() -> str: ...

  @property
  def resource_type() -> int: ...

  @property
  def modified_time() -> int: ...

  @property
  def access_time() -> int: ...

  @property
  def size() -> int: ...

  @property
  def permission() -> str: ...

  @property
  def owner() -> str: ...

  @property
  def group() -> str: ...

  @property
  def replication() -> int: ...

# In class HadoopDFS:
@property
def on_resource_list() -> Callable[[HadoopDFSResourceListEventParams], None]: ...
@on_resource_list.setter
def on_resource_list(event_hook: Callable[[HadoopDFSResourceListEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event fires once for each resource returned when list_resources or get_resource_info is called.

Name is the name of the resource.

Path is the full path of the resource.

ResourceType reflects the resource's type. Possible values are:

ModifiedTime and AccessTime reflect the resource's last modified and last access times, in milliseconds relative to the Unix epoch.

Size reflects the size of the file, in bytes. Always 0 for directories.

Permission reflects the resource's permission bits, represented as an octal string (e.g., 755).

Owner is the name of the resource's owner.

Group is the name of the resource's group.

Replication reflects the file's replication factor. Always 0 for directories.

on_ssl_server_authentication Event

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

class HadoopDFSSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams(object):
  @property
  def cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...

  @property
  def cert_subject() -> str: ...

  @property
  def cert_issuer() -> str: ...

  @property
  def status() -> str: ...

  @property
  def accept() -> bool: ...
  @accept.setter
  def accept(value) -> None: ...

# In class HadoopDFS:
@property
def on_ssl_server_authentication() -> Callable[[HadoopDFSSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]: ...
@on_ssl_server_authentication.setter
def on_ssl_server_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[HadoopDFSSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

on_ssl_status Event

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

class HadoopDFSSSLStatusEventParams(object):
  @property
  def message() -> str: ...

# In class HadoopDFS:
@property
def on_ssl_status() -> Callable[[HadoopDFSSSLStatusEventParams], None]: ...
@on_ssl_status.setter
def on_ssl_status(event_hook: Callable[[HadoopDFSSSLStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

on_start_transfer Event

This event fires when a document starts transferring (after the headers).

Syntax

class HadoopDFSStartTransferEventParams(object):
  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

# In class HadoopDFS:
@property
def on_start_transfer() -> Callable[[HadoopDFSStartTransferEventParams], None]: ...
@on_start_transfer.setter
def on_start_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[HadoopDFSStartTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The on_start_transfer event is fired when the document text starts transferring from the server to the local host.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

on_transfer Event

This event is fired while a document transfers (delivers document).

Syntax

class HadoopDFSTransferEventParams(object):
  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

  @property
  def bytes_transferred() -> int: ...

  @property
  def percent_done() -> int: ...

  @property
  def text() -> bytes: ...

# In class HadoopDFS:
@property
def on_transfer() -> Callable[[HadoopDFSTransferEventParams], None]: ...
@on_transfer.setter
def on_transfer(event_hook: Callable[[HadoopDFSTransferEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The Text parameter contains the portion of the document text being received. It is empty if data are being posted to the server.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred in this Direction since the beginning of the document text (excluding HTTP response headers).

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.

Note: Events are not re-entrant. Performing time-consuming operations within this event will prevent it from firing again in a timely manner and may affect overall performance.
