----------------------------------------------
> But the write/append handle thingy, any other option?
We probably should use "Expect: 100- continue" http header. See 8.2.3 Use of
the 100 (Continue) Status in
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.2

> We current have hftp for accessing HDFS over HTTP. However, hftp is a
