Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-9541:
--------------------------------------------
This patch is compatible since it just adds new APIs rather than changing or
removing existing ones. For new APIs, we want to explicitly spell out the type
sizes so that they are the same on each platform. This patch adds a builder
API which we can use to add more options to "open" later if we want.
> Add hdfsStreamBuilder API to libhdfs to support defaultBlockSizes greater

> We should have a new API in libhdfs which will support creating files with a
> default block size that is more than 31 bits in size. We should also make
> this a builder API so that it is easy to add more options later.
