-------------------------------------

             Summary: Add namespace declarations in .proto files for other 
languages
                 Key: HADOOP-8985
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8985
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Binglin Chang
            Priority: Minor


Currently .proto files use java_package to specify java packages in proto 
files, but namespace are not specified for other languages such as C++, this 
causes name collision in C++. we can add namespace declarations to avoid this. 

In Java, the package specifier is used as the Java package, unless you 
explicitly provide a option java_package in your .proto file. So the original 
java package will not be affected.

About namespace name, how about "hadoop.common"(hadoop::common in C++) for all 
common sub-project proto files, and "hadoop.hdfs"(hadoop::hdfs in C++) for all 
hdfs sub-project proto files?
