> Per the [spec|https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/WebHDFS.html#Get_Home_Directory], WebHDFS provides a REST endpoint for getting the user's home directory:
> {noformat}Submit a HTTP GET request.
> curl -i "http://<HOST>:<PORT>/webhdfs/v1/?op=GETHOMEDIRECTORY"{noformat}
> However, WebHDFSFileSystem.java does not use this, instead building the home [directory locally|https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs-client/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/web/WebHdfsFileSystem.java#L271]:
> {code}  /** @return the home directory. */
>   public static String getHomeDirectoryString(final UserGroupInformation ugi) {
>     return "/user/" + ugi.getShortUserName();
>   }
>   @Override
>   public Path getHomeDirectory() {
>     return makeQualified(new Path(getHomeDirectoryString(ugi)));
>   }{code}
> The WebHDFSFileSystem client should call to the REST service to determine the home directory.
