Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-9272:
----------------------------------------

I don't think this is the correct approach.  For interactive, client-side operations, you really want WebHDFS and not RPC due to the compatibility problems.

> Implement the basic functionality of "cat" and have it build as a separate executable.
> 2 Reasons for this:
> We don't have any real integration tests at the moment so something simple to verify that the library actually works against a real cluster is useful.
> Eventually I'll make more utilities like stat, mkdir etc.  Once there are enough of them it will be simple to make a C++ implementation of the hadoop fs command line interface that doesn't take the latency hit of spinning up a JVM.
