Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-6994:
----------------------------------
bq. About the boost, your are right. Actually boost is not required if the C++
compiler is not too old. And I also think using boost can make libhdfs3 be
useful for as many people as possible who use the old C++ compiler. But, yes, I
should not require a very new boost version, it can be improved as well as
other dependency issues.
I think that the main goal is to have a clean-slate, modern, and easy to
maintain library. Modern language features in C++ is a great leverage to
approach the goal.
I might be over optimistic, personally I don't think old compiler is that big
of an issue -- CentOS 7 already has gcc 4.4 by default, and it is quite easy to
install clang on build machines. Clang is production ready for c++11.

> Hi All
> I just got the permission to open source libhdfs3, which is a native C/C++
> HDFS client based on Hadoop RPC protocol and HDFS Data Transfer Protocol.
> libhdfs3 provide the libhdfs style C interface and a C++ interface. Support
> both HADOOP RPC version 8 and 9. Support Namenode HA and Kerberos
> authentication.
> libhdfs3 is currently used by HAWQ of Pivotal
> I'd like to integrate libhdfs3 into HDFS source code to benefit others.
> You can find libhdfs3 code from github
> https://github.com/PivotalRD/libhdfs3
