Tibor Kiss commented on HDFS-9758:
----------------------------------

Going forward with the implementation I've realized that some calls (e.g. 
hdfsExists, hdfsCreateFile, etc) are not exposed through the C interface.
Is it intentional or just WiP?

> 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.
