Bob Hansen commented on HDFS-8766:
----------------------------------
Minor nits:
* Still have a shared_ptr to a promise in hdfsFile_internal::pread
* Is there a reason getErrorStr doesn't take a char *?
* Is there a reason hdfs_internal is a struct rather than a class?
Can you file a follow-up JIRA or add to HDFS-8790 to convert raw pointers to
managed pointers?

> 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.
