Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-2316:
----------------------------------------------
> Using 'getOp', 'putOp' and 'postOp' is redundant as the HTTP method is is
> GET/PUT/POST already
But it will make operation clear in the url and show up in the log messages. I
think it will help other developers.
> 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'
Sounds good.
> Permissions: we should support both octal and symbolic.
Octal is concise. Do we really need symbolic?
> 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
