Hi Jeff,

The contrib/thriftfs module is probably what you're looking for.

I don't know of a lot of people using it, but it does provide a proxy-style
thrift access to HDFS.

Be aware that performance will not be great since it introduces several more
copies in the pipeline, and Thrift was never designed for transferring large
amounts of data.
