Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-6253:
----------------------------------------
I'd argue strongly against adding any more FS support explicitly into the main
hadoop distribution, purely on a test+support basis. Anything related to new
filesystems are welcome, but adding more code that will only be testable on a
subset of machines is trouble. It's not going to get tested before releases, it
will ship untested with dependencies on native libraries that most people won't
have, but there is still an expectation of support.
If that's a strategy we want to take: how to get Ceph support in or near
hadoop, with enough people caring about it to keep it up to date?
