re-factor fuse-dfs into fuse specific things and a more posix-like layer on top
of libhdfs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-4028
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4028
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: contrib/fuse-dfs
Reporter: Pete Wyckoff
Priority: Minor
libhdfs is now very hadoop specific, which is good since there are many hadoop
attributes not present in things like stat structures. but, for things that
want to access hdfs as a posix-like FS, they would benefit from a more standard
API.
fuse-dfs now does this itself, translating from hadoop specific structures from
hadoop to posix structures like stat. Let's put a layer on top of libhdfs that
does this for us so others benefit from it. Once stable, we can look at adding
it to libhdfs as a libhdfs_posix_like.so or something.
