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

             Summary: HDFS clients can't construct HdfsConfiguration instances
                 Key: HDFS-9241
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9241
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Steve Loughran


the changes for the hdfs client classpath make instantiating 
{{HdfsConfiguration}} from the client impossible; it only lives server side. 
This breaks any app which creates one.

I know people will look at the {{@Private}} tag and say "don't do that then", 
but it's worth considering precisely why I, at least, do this: it's the only 
way to guarantee that the hdfs-default and hdfs-site resources get on the 
classpath, including all the security settings. It's precisely the use case 
which {{HdfsConfigurationLoader.init();}} offers internally to the hdfs code.

What am I meant to do now?
