James Clampffer commented on HDFS-8766:
---------------------------------------
Thanks for the +1!
I agree that we should be able to override that path for projects that want to
keep headers in a common place. I think I need to learn a few more CMake
tricks before I can do it right. I'll open up a "make libhdfs++ build to be
configurable outside of the Hadoop tree" once I get to work tomorrow.
As for the GCC bug you can check it out here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41933
It says it's been resolved, so I'll have to see when the fix made it out to
various linux distros. But if it's breaking on the default GCC used ubuntu
14.04 LTS I don't think it's safe to include in a project that needs to be
built on some older compilers. There's some workarounds posted that I'm
looking into using to get something simple and portable.

>
> Add a synchronous API that is compatible with the hdfs.h header used in
> libhdfs and libhdfs3. This will make it possible for projects using
> libhdfs/libhdfs3 to relink against libhdfspp with minimal changes.
> This also provides a pure C interface that can be linked against projects
> that aren't built in C++11 mode for various reasons but use the same
> compiler. It also allows many other programming languages to access
> libhdfspp through builtin FFI interfaces.
> The libhdfs API is very similar to the posix file API which makes it easier
> for programs built using posix filesystem calls to be modified to access HDFS.
