Jaimin D Jetly updated HDFS-2631:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: HDFS-2631.1.patch

This is an initial patch of fuse-webhdfs contrib project. Work is under 
progress.
you can review the code and read the README file for the installation .
Project supports all directory level commands and limited file level commands 
like read (more), write (indirection >), append (>>), find.

Other functions that could be implemented in the future is statfs , symlink , 
access.

For now one needs to manually download libcurl and libjson libraries and 
configure+make (refer README). But I will get it done through ant in the next 
patch.

> We should port the implementation of fuse-dfs to use the webhdfs protocol. 
> This has a number of benefits:
> * Compatibility - allows a single fuse client to work across server versions
> * Works with both WebHDFS and Hoop since they are protocol compatible
> * Removes the overhead related to libhdfs (forking a jvm)
> * Makes it easier to support features like security
