webHDFSClientBundle provides a Symfony2 wrapper to the SimpleEnergy/php-WebHDFS code for interacting with HDFS from PHP. php-WebHDFS is a PHP client for WebHDFS.

• PHP
• cURL
• [Hadoop 2.x] (http://hadoop.apache.org/)
• [HDFS with Web API enabled] (http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/WebHDFS.html)
• Symfony2

To install webHDFSClientBundle with Composer add the following to your composer.json file:

// composer.json
{
    // ...
    require: {
        // ...
        "jimbglenn/webHDFSClientBundle": "dev-master"
    }
}

Then, you can install with Composer's update command from your project root:

composer update jimbglenn/webHDFSClientBundle

Composer will download all the required files, and install them. Now you update AppKernel.php file and register the new bundle:

<?php
// in AppKernel::registerBundles()
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new jimbglenn\webHDFSClientBundle\webHDFSClientBundle(),
        // ...
        );

Setup config for your instance of Hadoop's WebHDFS api. In app/config/config.yml add the following section and fill in with your values:

# web hdfs client configuration for hadoop:
web_hdfs_client:
    webHDFS:
        serverName: devhadoop.localdomain
        port: 50070
        user: hadoop

From within a controller, you should be able to do get access to the web_hdfs_client:

$hdfs = $this->get('web_hdfs_cilent');

• Read the documentation

$hdfs = $this->get('web_hdfs_client');
$hdfs->create('user/hadoop-username/new-file.txt', 'local-file.txt');
