Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-9047: ---------------------------------- [~cmccabe], does it look good to you? I plan to commit ti tomorrow if there is no more comments. > deprecate libwebhdfs in branch-2; remove from trunk > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-9047 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9047 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: webhdfs > Reporter: Allen Wittenauer > Assignee: Haohui Mai > Attachments: HDFS-9047.000.patch > > > This library is basically a mess: > * It's not part of the mvn package > * It's missing functionality and barely maintained > * It's not in the precommit runs so doesn't get exercised regularly > * It's not part of the unit tests (at least, that I can see) > * It isn't documented in any official documentation > But most importantly: > * It fails at it's primary mission of being pure C (HDFS-3917 is STILL open) > Let's cut our losses and just remove it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
