Contributing Hoop to HDFS, replacement for HDFS proxy with read/write
capabilities
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2178
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2178
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur
We'd like to contribute Hoop to Hadoop HDFS as a replacement (an improvement)
for HDFS Proxy.
Hoop provides access to all Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) operations
(read and write) over HTTP/S.
The Hoop server component is a REST HTTP gateway to HDFS supporting all file
system operations. It can be accessed using standard HTTP tools (i.e. curl and
wget), HTTP libraries from different programing languages (i.e. Perl, Java
Script) as well as using the Hoop client. The Hoop server component is a
standard Java web-application and it has been implemented using Jersey (JAX-RS).
The Hoop client component is an implementation of Hadoop FileSystem client that
allows using the familiar Hadoop filesystem API to access HDFS data through a
Hoop server.

Hoop is a Maven based project that depends on Hadoop HDFS and Alfredo (for
Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO authentication).
To make the integration easy, HDFS Mavenization (HDFS-2096) would have to be
done first, as well as the Alfredo contribution (HADOOP-7119).
