Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HDFS-2316:
------------------------------------------

Would be OK if this prefix is optional/configurable as well as the capability 
of running the HTTP HDFS access in the DN in a different port (and by default 
is with the /webhdfs prefix in the same port as the rest of the HTTP services? 

> webhdfs: a complete FileSystem implementation for accessing HDFS over HTTP

> We current have hftp for accessing HDFS over HTTP.  However, hftp is a 
> read-only FileSystem and does not provide "write" accesses.
> In HDFS-2284, we propose to have webhdfs for providing a complete FileSystem 
> implementation for accessing HDFS over HTTP.  The is the umbrella JIRA for 
> the tasks.
