Eli Collins resolved HADOOP-5010. --------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed HDFS proxy was removed, hftp is documented. > Document HTTP/HTTPS methods to read directory and file data > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5010 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5010 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation > Affects Versions: 0.18.0 > Reporter: Marco Nicosia > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: 5010-0.patch > > > In HADOOP-1563, [~cutting] wrote: > bq. The URI for this should be something like hftp://host:port/a/b/c, since, > while HTTP will be used as the transport, this will not be a FileSystem for > arbitrary HTTP urls. > Recently, we've been talking about implementing an HDFS proxy (HADOOP-4575) > which would be a secure way to make HFTP/HSFTP available. In so doing, we may > even remove HFTP/HSFTP from being offered on the HDFS itself (that's another > discussion). > In the case of the HDFS proxy, does it make sense to do away with the > artificial HFTP/HSFTP protocols, and instead simply offer standard HTTP and > HTTPS? That would allow non-HDFS-specific clients, as well as using various > standard HTTP infrastructure, such as load balancers, etc. > NB, to the best of my knowledge, HFTP is only documented on the > [distcp|http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/distcp.html] page, and > HSFTP is not documented at all? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
