Jing Zhao commented on HDFS-5570:
---------------------------------
Also, for the webUrl part, now can we generalize it to "http url of webhdfs"
and "fs uri"? I think the former should be necessary (the current patch does
not support it). For later if hdfs/webhdsf/swebhdfs scheme is provided we can
even support HA (but this also requires extra information in the
configuration). We should also document it and include it in the tool usage
description.
> Deprecate hftp / hsftp and replace them with webhdfs / swebhdfs

> Currently hftp / hsftp only provide a strict subset of functionality that
> webhdfs / swebhdfs offer. Notably, hftp / hsftp do not support writes and HA
> namenodes. Maintaining two piece of code with similar functionality introduce
> unnecessary work.
> Webhdfs has been around since Hadoop 1.0 therefore moving forward with
> webhdfs does not seem to cause any significant migration issues.
> This jira proposes to deprecate hftp / hsftp in branch-2 and remove them in
> trunk.
