Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HDFS-2316:
------------------------------------------
On #3, it will be confusing to users that part of the URL is case sensitive
(the path) and part it is not (the query-string). Given that HDFS is case
sensitive, making the path case insensitive is not an option. Thus, I'm
suggesting to make it all case sensitive and there will be no confusion there.
On #5, It is not overloading the scheme, we are doing "http://";, thus why I say
we should use "http://";. Whe n using curl you'll use http://

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

> In HDFS-2284, we propose to have webhdfs for providing a complete FileSystem
