File Overwrite not working with HDFS NFS gateway through python.

[#1]

I am trying to create and overwrite a file in file system. The below code working with local filesystem and NFS as well.

But not working with HDFS NFS gateway.

open_file = open("/hdfs_nfs/hdfs_Data/sampledata/testWrite.txt", 'wb+')
open_file.write("This is just a sample data")
open_file.close()

The file "testWrite.txt" is getting created on HDFS mount point when i run above code for first time. But it is not working when I run the code from 2nd time onwards, with or with out changing the content.

I am getting below error.

IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('wb+') or filename: '/hdfs_nfs/hdfs_Data/sampledata/testWrite.txt'

According to the official documentation "file append is supported but random write is not supported". However, you very much can remove the file if it already exists and create a new one:

import os

path = '/hdfs_nfs/hdfs_Data/sampledata/testWrite.txt'
try:
    os.remove(path)
except OSError:
    pass

with open(path, 'wb+') as open_file:
    open_file.write("This is just a sample data")
