Rewrite fuse-dfs to use the webhdfs protocol
--------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2631
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2631
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: contrib/fuse-dfs
Reporter: Eli Collins
We should port the implementation of fuse-dfs to use the webhdfs protocol. This
has a number of benefits:
* Compatibility - allows a single fuse client to work across server versions
* Works with both WebHDFS and Hoop since they are protocol compatible
* Removes the overhead related to libhdfs (forking a jvm)
* Makes it easier to support features like security
