Andrew Wang commented on HDFS-10823:
------------------------------------
I asked Tucu about this offline, and he told me it's because HttpFS was
designed to front any arbitrary FileSystem (but exposing WebHDFS). I haven't
heard of anyone using it except as an HDFS gateway though, so I think this is
an uncommon usecase. There's also an API impedance mismatch, since WebHDFS was
designed for REST access to HDFS, not as a REST API for generic FileSystem
access.
But, without a large overhaul of the HttpFS codebase, I don't think it's
something we're going to address here. I'll try the subclassing hack to at
least make the new FileSystem method protected rather than public. Better
alternatives welcomed.
