Let's remove the HDFS proxy contrib component. It has not had a meaningful contribution in almost a year. We had to disable the tests in HDFS-1666 because it is broken an no one has been willing to maintain it. Nigel started this vote previously, with the exception of one vote everyone was +1. I tried several to follow up on the original thread a couple of times but I never got a response so I figured I'd start a new vote.
Btw, Alejandro is contributing a full HDFS proxy replacement (also supports read/write, kerberos, etc) in HDFS-2178. I'm +1. Thanks, Eli 1. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hadoop-general/201102.mbox/%[email protected]%3E
