Hi all I've been with Hadoop-0.20-append for a few time and I plan to upgrade to 1.0.0 release, but i find there are many people taking about the NEW API, so I'm lost, can anyone please tell me what is the new API? Is the OLD one available in the 1.0.0 release? Thanks CheersRamon

This might be related to releases 0.21 or later, where append and related functionality is re-implemented.

1.0 comes from 0.20.205 and has same API as 0.20-append.

As far as I know, the new API is the stuff in the Java package named
org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce, while the old API is in
org.apache.hadoop.mapred.

And, just to keep you on your toes, I am told the new API is deprecated,
it is the old API that is currently favored.

New API isn't 'deprecated', but just marked evolving and is unstable
(things may change between releases).

Using the old, stable API is a good idea for 0.20.x/1.x stable
releases as they are more complete in it. However, we've added some
more backports to new API in 1.0.1 to help those who use it.

The project continues to support both APIs fully through 0.23 (and
maybe beyond).
