James Clampffer updated HDFS-9758:
----------------------------------
Attachment: hdfs_posix.py
Adding my example using the the C API and CTypes to implement File and
FileSystem in python
HdfsFile.readline isn't even half baked, the idea was to read 4KB blocks that
looked like pages into a dict until a newline char was found. That dict could
also function as a small cache. The rest of the implementation should work
though.
> libhdfs++: Implement Python bindings
> ------------------------------------

> Key: HDFS-9758

> 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.
