Compared to other alternatives? Message-ID: <20100520102905.744569c0@caputradii.linkoping.osa> Organization: Opera Software X-Mailer: Claws Mail 3.7.2 (GTK+ 2.18.3; i486-pc-linux-gnu) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi! What's the status of the Thrift gateway for HDFS (http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HDFS-APIs)? My google karma seems to be bad because I'm not getting many hits from people using it. Is it stable? How's the performance? Assuming we're building a web interface that needs to read some files from HDFS, and we don't want to use the Java API, would the Thrift gateway be the best option? Or is fuse-dfs better? How about using the http APIs for listing and fetching data, how will they compare performance-wise?
