if u want to access hdfs metadata through webservices, it is ok. but it is not a wise way to deal with data. And further namenode daemon even can be implemented by webservice,it is just another alternative way of rpc.

Hi everybody, I'm trying to access the hdfs using web services. The idea is that the web service client can access the HDFS using SOAP or REST and has to support all the hdfs shell commands. Is it some work around this?. I really appreciate any feedback, Xavier
