Binglin Chang commented on HADOOP-10388:
----------------------------------------
Although c is viable, I would suggest using c++11, that will help us get rid of
lot of dependencies and make the code smaller.
I was writing a client just for fun, it uses c++11, depends on protobuf,
json-c, sasl2, gtest and cmake, about 8k LOC. It is on github now:
https://github.com/decster/libhadoopclient.
Hope some of the code can be useful here.
> Pure native hadoop client

> Key: HADOOP-10388
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10388
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Binglin Chang
>
> A pure native hadoop client has following use case/advantages:
> 1. writing Yarn applications using c++
> 2. direct access to HDFS, without extra proxy overhead, comparing to web/nfs
> interface.
> 3. wrap native library to support more languages, e.g. python
> 4. lightweight, small footprint compare to several hundred MB of JDK and
> hadoop library with various dependencies.
