Zhanwei.Wang commented on HDFS-2656:
------------------------------------
@yankay
I have implemented two libs, libhdfs2 is a c lib based on webhdfs and libhdfs3
is a c++ lib based on hdfs protocolbuffer compatible rpc.
Both libs are used in our project. Since I have not got the company's open
source permission, I cannot contribute it to the hadoop.
The have applied to open source these two libs since February，but until now...

> Key: HDFS-2656

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: webhdfs
> Reporter: Zhanwei.Wang
>
> Currently, the implementation of libhdfs is based on JNI. The overhead of JVM
> seems a little big, and libhdfs can also not be used in the environment
> without hdfs.
> It seems a good idea to implement a pure c client by wrapping webhdfs. It
> also can be used to access different version of hdfs.
