Another way to do this is make thrift's java compiler generate REST bindings like its php compiler does and there is also libhdfs and http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/MountableHDFS

The thriftfs interface is more elegant than what I was trying to do, and that implementation is more complete. Still, someone might be interested in what I did if they want a super-light API :) I will link to http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HDFS-APIs from my page so people know the options.
