Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-9117:
----------------------------------
bq. I can strip it down to the API you provided, but I wonder what use case it
will be serving then.
Please do.
Many users use Hadoop in a controlled environment. They know where the
configuration is and has preferences on not depending on environment variables
as they can be changed easily. Cloud deployment is one example.
It's relatively starightforward to add these functionality to another layer but
it's hard to take it out when it's coupled with the core layer.

> For environmental compatability with HDFS installations, libhdfs++ should be
> able to read the configurations from Hadoop XML files and behave in line with
> the Java implementation.
> Most notably, machine names and ports should be readable from Hadoop XML
> configuration files.
> Similarly, an internal Options architecture for libhdfs++ should be developed
> to efficiently transport the configuration information within the system.
