Bob Hansen commented on HDFS-10672:
-----------------------------------

This is a better arrangement than what was in before, [~anatoli.shein].  Thanks.

In the C++ cat:
* The last_bytes_read parameter should be set to sizeof(buf) each time.  That 
makes this a very messy and error-prone API; buf_size and bytes_read should be 
different parameters.  Let's fix it as part of this bug.
* We need to fix ownership issues with the IOService.  Filed HDFS-10704 to 
capture that.
* We should have a no-args FileSystem::New.  Filed HDFS-10705 to capture that.
* We should distinguish between normal end-of-file failures to read and "there 
was an error" status.  What should we expect when we get to EOF?  We should 
document that in the headers.

When the C cat was originally written, we didn't have configuration parsing in 
libhdfs++.  Now that we do, should we get rid of the URI stuff in the cat 
examples and just check that they have a properly configured config directory 
(with a nice message with how to set HADOOP_CONF_DIR if they don't)?  I think 
it will make this example much simpler and cleaner, if less useful (let's put 
the useful one in the utility app).

> src/main/libhdfspp/examples should be structured like 
> examples/language/utility instead of examples/utility/language for easier 
> access by different developers.
> Additionally implementing C++ version of cat tool.
