Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9385: ---------------------------------------- [~tucu00] -I agree with you for the third-party filesystems -that creates a set of classes that are untestable without access to the specific cluster type, and so creates unsupportable code. Blobstores are more tractable as they are universally accessible, given sufficient funding. > create hadoop-common-project/hadoop-filesystem-clients subprojects for > blobstore & other clients > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-9385 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9385 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Steve Loughran > > As discussed on hadoop-general, we need somewhere to host the non-HDFS > filesystem clients. S3/S3N, ftp are all in hadoop-common, with the JAR > dependencies there. This doesn't scale to openstack, azure, or handle changes > in the S3 dependencies. > With a project of {{hadoop-common/hadoop-filesystem-clients}}, we could add > separate FS clients: {{hadoop-filesystem-client-aws}}, > {{hadoop-filesystem-client-openstack}}, etc, each with their own tests, JARs > and POM file dependencies. This would translate into separate bigtop > RPMs/JARs -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
