Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-2316:
----------------------------------------------
> 1. versioning
Added v1 to the prefix, i.e. the url is
http://nn:port/webhdfs/v1/path/to/file?op=...
> 2. ranges
Since it is optional in the http spec, let's use offset and length query
parameters.
> 3. params case sensitivity
Won't case insensitive parameter names be more user friendly?
> 4. permissions format
Let's use octal. Handling sticky bit with ls output style is tricky.
> 5. protocol scheme to use
Do you mean the FileSystem scheme? Webhdfs is using "webhdfs://". I think
"http://"; is not suitable to be overloaded as a FileSystem scheme.
> 6. how to get the create/append handle ...
Commented on HDFS-2178.
Sorry that I am still updating the doc.

> 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.
