Connect to a data source on HDFS

1 2	hdfsConn(loc, type = "sequence", autoYes = FALSE, reset = FALSE, verbose = TRUE)

`loc`	location on HDFS for the data source
`type`	the type of data ("map", "sequence", "text")
`autoYes`	automatically answer "yes" to questions about creating a path on HDFS
`reset`	should existing metadata for this object be overwritten?
`verbose`	logical - print messages about what is being done

This simply creates a "connection" to a directory on HDFS (which need not have data in it). To actually do things with this data, see ddo, etc.

a "kvConnection" object of class "hdfsConn"
