The files in this directory are purely meant to provide additional examples for how to use libhdfs. They are compiled as part of the build and are thus guaranteed to compile against the associated version of lidhdfs. However, no tests exists for these examples so their functionality is not guaranteed.

The examples are written to run against a mini-dfs cluster. The script test-libhdfs.sh can setup a mini DFS cluster that the examples can run against. Again, none of this is tested and is thus not guaranteed to work.
