Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HDFS-2316:
------------------------------------------
@Sanjay:
* As agreed with Nicholas, create/mkdir should be PUT (idempotent), and append
should be POST (not idempotent)
* Parameter names
** Using 'getOp', 'putOp' and 'postOp' is redundant as the HTTP method is is
GET/PUT/POST already
** Using 'op=open' for reading a file make sense
** (generalizing on the prev bullet item) we should use the name of the method
(case insensitive) for the operation names, thus it should be 'setowner'
** Default values: Hoop uses the JAR default values, it could be modified to
use the defaults of hdfs-site.xml in HOOP config dir
** Permissions: we should support both octal and symbolic.
Still is open how to handle create/append operations.

> We current have hftp for accessing HDFS over HTTP. However, hftp is a
