stack commented on HBASE-1015:
------------------------------
Just by way of FYI, here is how the C++ interface to HDFS is done: "HDFS
provides a C++ library called libhdfs that mirrors the Java interface. In fact,
it works using the Java Native Interface (JNI) to call a Java HDFS client.
Hadoop comes with pre-built libhdfs binaries for 32-bit Linux, but for other
platforms you will need to build them yourself using the instructions at
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/LibHDFS.";
> pure C and C++ client libraries

> Key: HBASE-1015
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1015
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: client
> Reporter: Andrew Purtell
> Assignee: Andrew Purtell
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.20.0

>
> If via HBASE-794 first class support for talking via Thrift directly to
> HMaster and HRS is available, then pure C and C++ client libraries are
> possible.
> The C client library would wrap a Thrift core.
> The C++ client library can provide a class hierarchy quite close to
> o.a.h.h.client and, ideally, identical semantics. It should be just a
> wrapper around the C API, for economy.
> Internally to my employer there is a lot of resistance to HBase because many
> dev teams have a strong C/C++ bias. The real issue however is really client
> side integration, not a fundamental objection. (What runs server side and how
> it is managed is a secondary consideration.)
