Binglin Chang commented on HADOOP-10388:
----------------------------------------

bq. I'd like it to build on OS/X so that mac builds catch regressions, even if 
isn't for production.
Agree. MacOSX is more like freebsd, I do most of my coding in mac, can help 
make sure mac build and test.

bq. I'm not up to date with C++ test frameworks
Although I havent try other test frameworks, I would recommend gtest, it is 
small and convenient(just a .cc file can embed into test program). If we are 
using google c++ coding standard, protobuf, using another google framework 
seems natural.

> 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.
