Bill Zeller commented on HDFS-235:
----------------------------------
> Supporting seek() would be more generic. Perhaps the initial open() call
> should do nothing,
> with no HTTP requests made until one attempts to read a file. Then the
> servlet could accept
> a start position, but not an end position. Seeking would close any open HTTP
> connection and open a new one.
Yes, the end position is not required. I believe HftpFileSystem could be easily
modified to support the above semantics.
> Add support for byte-ranges to hftp
