Pete Wyckoff updated HADOOP-4028:
---------------------------------
Summary: create close to posix layer for Linux on top of libhdfs (was:
re-factor fuse-dfs into fuse specific things and a more posix-like layer on top
of libhdfs)
> create close to posix layer for Linux 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.
