2.0_beta release

This release supports Hadoop 2.3.x and above.

Supported versions

The code is developed and tested against Apache Hadoop 2.3.0. But it should work against any 2.x version.

Change log

• Fix "Not a valid DFS filename" error
• Fix file paths reported in ls
• Add more unit tests
• Update README for 2.0_beta

Note: The file path formats for files within a tar archive has been changed from 1.0 to 2.0_beta. For example, say there is a file with path dir1/file1 inside a tar archive archive.tar. Following are the paths in old format and new format:

• Old format: tar:///archive.tar+dir1/file1
• New format: tar:///archive.tar/+dir1+file1

This new format is now supported throughout. Both in CLI and APIs.

First Beta Release of TarFileSystem

This is the first BETA release of the Tar File System for Hadoop. It contains the source code, build instructions and the .jar package.

Note that this is a BETA release and may require further testing.
