Junping Du commented on HDFS-9047:
----------------------------------
>From the discussion above (and HDFS-8346), I don't think fixing/removing
>libwebhdfs is critical enough to stop any release trains. No release can be
>perfect, but the only thing we can do is to try to address all
>critical/blocker issues raised in community. Thus, I don't see any problem for
>previous vote passes without anyone call it out as a priority issue before.
> deprecate libwebhdfs in branch-2; remove from trunk
> ---------------------------------------------------

> Key: HDFS-9047
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9047
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: webhdfs
> Reporter: Allen Wittenauer
>
> This library is basically a mess:
> * It's not part of the mvn package
> * It's missing functionality and barely maintained
> * It's not in the precommit runs so doesn't get exercised regularly
> * It's not part of the unit tests (at least, that I can see)
> * It isn't documented in any official documentation
> But most importantly:
> * It fails at it's primary mission of being pure C (HDFS-3917 is STILL open)
> Let's cut our losses and just remove it.
