-----------------------------------

             Summary: Move hdfs-client side helper methods converting protobuf 
from PBHelper to PBHelperClient
                 Key: HDFS-9111
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9111
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Mingliang Liu
            Assignee: Mingliang Liu


*TL;DR* This jira tracks the effort of moving PB helper methods, which convert 
client side data structure to and from protobuf, to the {{hadoop-hdfs-client}} 
module.

Currently the {{PBHelper}} class contains helper methods converting both client 
and server side data structures from/to protobuf. As we move client (and 
common) classes to {{hadoop-hdfs-client}} module (see [HDFS-8053] and 
[HDFS-9039]), we also need to move client module related PB converters to 
client module.

A good place may be a new class named {{PBHelperClient}}. After this, the 
existing {{PBHelper}} class stays in {{hadoop-hdfs}} module with converters for 
converting server side data structures.
