Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-2631:
--------------------------------------------
Yeah. The goal should be to have a fuse_dfs binary that can work with either
libwebhdfs.so or libhdfs.so. The interfaces are exactly the same and there
should be no need for recompilation.
> Rewrite fuse-dfs to use libwebhdfs

> 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
