Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-2316:
----------------------------------------------

2) may be confusion since the same http url path represents two different file 
system paths.  E.g.
- http://namenode:port/data/foo/bar?... means reading /foo/bar
- http://namenode:port/data/foo/bar?opGet=read&;... means reading /data/foo/bar


> webhdfs: a complete FileSystem implementation for accessing HDFS over HTTP

> We current have hftp for accessing HDFS over HTTP.  However, hftp is a 
> read-only FileSystem and does not provide "write" accesses.
> In HDFS-2284, we propose to have webhdfs for providing a complete FileSystem 
> implementation for accessing HDFS over HTTP.  The is the umbrella JIRA for 
> the tasks.
