Hi Ruyue Ma,
Is there any chance this become part of the libhdfs or that the libhdfs is
modified to allow extension to be added on top of it.
I explain my use case here:
- my company product want to use the libhdfs to read/write hadoop files but we
are not allowed to ship the libhdfs library.
- with raw text file, this is perfect but processing sequence file is
problematic as it require to modify the hdfs.c code and add new API
I didn't find a way to reuse the libhdfs and just add a new library that
include my new API mainly because hdfsFile_internal struct is not in the header
but in the hdfs.c, and this struct contains the file handle
So unless I redefine the struct in my own header (which may cause cause upward
compatibility problem) to extend the libhdfs, I have no way to add new API and
use the generated libhdfs static library.
Is there any chance the libhdfs could be made extensible in the future?
BTW, great work for the Windows port!!!
