[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-347?page=comments#action_12442170 ] Devaraj Das commented on HADOOP-347: ------------------------------------
[[ Old comment, sent by email on Fri, 7 Jul 2006 00:08:28 +0530 ]] Hi Eric, I spoke to Marco regarding WebDAV, and he told me that he just got started on the work, etc. So I am wondering whether I should start off on this work without WebDAV. Things like block view, etc. may not be possible with WebDAV without major tweaking. What are your thoughts?
