Summary: libhdfs++: Implement Python bindings
Key: HDFS-9758
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9758
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: James Clampffer
It'd be really useful to have bindings for various scripting languages. Python
would be a good start because of it's popularity and how easy it is to interact
with shared libraries using the ctypes module. I think bindings for the V8
engine that nodeJS uses would be a close second in terms of expanding the
potential user base.
Probably worth starting with just adding a synchronous API and building from
there to avoid interactions with python's garbage collector until the bindings
prove to be solid.
