THDFSFile*

Reads and writes its data via the HDFS protocols

A THDFSFile is like a normal TFile except that it reads and writes
its data via the HDFS protocols. For more information on HDFS, see
http://hadoop.apache.org/hdfs/.
This implementation interfaces with libhdfs, which is a JNI-based
library (i.e., it will start a Java JVM internally the first time
it is called). At a minimum, you will need your environment's
$CLASSPATH variable set up properly to use. Here's an example of
one way to properly set your classpath, assuming you use the OSG
distribution of Hadoop:
    $ source $HADOOP_CONF_DIR/hadoop-env.sh
    $ export CLASSPATH=$HADOOP_CLASSPATH
Additionally, you will need a valid libjvm in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
This is usually found in either:
    $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386/server
or
    $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/amd64/server
This file can only be used if hdfs support is compiled into ROOT.
The HDFS URLs follow the Hadoop notation and should be of the form:
    hdfs://[host:port]/absolute/path/to/file/in/HDFS.root
Any host or port information will be ignored; this is taken from the
node's HDFS configuration files.

Example HDFS URLs:

    hdfs:///user/username/dir1/file2.root
    hdfs://localhost/user/username/dir1/file2.root
