dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-3754:
------------------------------------------
I included the thrift from http://developers.facebook.com/thrift/.
Also, make the shutdown from the python script more elegant. The python script
creates a proxy server if the port is not specified. Also, the proxy server
kills itself if the inactivity period is more than 1 hour (configurable). I
would address Nitay's comments about particular files going inactive in a later
release.
If the proxy server is restarted, all existing client's connections would get
an error. They would have to re-establish a new thrift connection to the proxy
server. Thus, the proxy server does not have to persist the objectids, they get
restarted from 100.

> Thrift is a cross-language RPC framework. It supports automatic code
> generation for a variety of languages (Java, C++, python, PHP, etc) It would
> be nice if HDFS APIs are exposed though Thirft. It will allow applications
> written in any programming language to access HDFS.
