Chris Nauroth commented on HDFS-9938:
-------------------------------------
After further consideration, I agree with the prior comments from Chris
Douglas. The long-term goal is that ADL will not be coupled at all to the
WebHDFS client code. If there is a short-term state where ADL must locate some
of its classes in the same Java package, then that's overall less risky than
relaxing the visibility of a lot of WebHDFS client internals.
I propose that we resolve this as won't fix. [~vishwajeet.dusane], thank you
for preparing this patch anyway. It helped facilitate discussion.

> This JIRA is to request opinion from the community, Can new file system use
> an extension of WebHDFS file system.
> Considering all the known limitation WebHDFS has over implementing a new
> client by extending FileSystem class.
> Option we have is
> 1. Use the namespace org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.web in new file system
> implementation to access protected functionality from WebHdfsFileSystem.
> 2. Change the WebHdfs to support extensions
> 3. Suggestion on different approach like new client by sub classing
> FileSystem.
