Eli Collins commented on HDFS-2631:
-----------------------------------
I think it's probably be best write a libhdfs-compatible library that uses webhdfs (HDFS-2656),
keep the existing fuse-dfs code as is, and have the ability to swap in the new library.
> Rewrite fuse-dfs to use the webhdfs protocol

> We should port the implementation of fuse-dfs to use the webhdfs protocol. This has a
number of benefits:
> * Compatibility - allows a single fuse client to work across server versions
> * Works with both WebHDFS and Hoop since they are protocol compatible
> * Removes the overhead related to libhdfs (forking a jvm)
> * Makes it easier to support features like security
