Sanjay Radia commented on HDFS-2316:
------------------------------------
One issue: we have to co exist with hftp which uses a prefixes like /data. Two
proposal on the table:
# (by Nicholas) use a different fixed prefix like /webhdfs/path since it does
not conflict with /data.
# (by Alejandro) always use an operation in the url so that one can send /data
with an operation to webhdfs and /data without operation to hftp.
1) is is simpler to implement since urls within the context of /webhdfs can be
sent to the webhdfs servlet. 2)has a nicer url since the path is the pathname
being refereced.
