-------------------------------------
Summary: Implement a libhdfs(3) compatible API
Key: HDFS-8766
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8766
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: James Clampffer
Assignee: James Clampffer
Add a synchronous API that is compatible with the hdfs.h header used in libhdfs
and libhdfs3. This will make it possible for projects using libhdfs/libhdfs3
to relink against libhdfspp with minimal changes.
This also provides a pure C interface that can be linked against projects that
aren't built in C++11 mode for various reasons but use the same compiler. It
also allows many other programming languages to access libhdfspp through
builtin FFI interfaces.
The libhdfs API is very similar to the posix file API which makes it easier for
programs built using posix filesystem calls to be modified to access HDFS.
