Description

Currently the hdfs_resources.py supports
1) create files/directories in HDFS
2) delete files/directories in HDFS
3) upload files/directories to HDFS

We should also support download of files/directories from HDFS. This will help particularly in cloud environments where the users of the cluster don't necessarily have write access to the local file system.
