Eli Collins commented on HDFS-2316:
-----------------------------------
I definitely agree with these distinct use cases, I'm just wondering if we need
to have two separate FileSystem over HTTP implementations vs one client that
may or may not use a proxy server (there's no reason http or FileSystem clients
need to care whether they're being proxied). Sounds like we were duplicating
code w/o understanding what could be shared. You and Alejandro have looked at
the specifics more than I have so I trust your judgement.
