Sanjay Radia commented on HDFS-2178:
------------------------------------
I believe it is bad for the prefix to configurable. We should use /webhdfs as
the proxy as in webhdfs. That all URIs should be
http://host:port/webhdfs/FilePath<options>
* It defeats the compatibility goal. Applications and tools should work
transparently.
* It prevents us from extending the proxy in the future. I believe we will be
adding many more functions in the proxy and one cannot rely on adding a new
port for each new function.
* The configuration is another thing to get wrong and adds no value as far as i
can see.

> We'd like to contribute Hoop to Hadoop HDFS as a replacement (an improvement)
> for HDFS Proxy.
> Hoop provides access to all Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) operations
> (read and write) over HTTP/S.
> The Hoop server component is a REST HTTP gateway to HDFS supporting all file
> system operations. It can be accessed using standard HTTP tools (i.e. curl
> and wget), HTTP libraries from different programing languages (i.e. Perl,
> Java Script) as well as using the Hoop client. The Hoop server component is a
> standard Java web-application and it has been implemented using Jersey
> (JAX-RS).
> The Hoop client component is an implementation of Hadoop FileSystem client
> that allows using the familiar Hadoop filesystem API to access HDFS data
> through a Hoop server.

> Hoop is a Maven based project that depends on Hadoop HDFS and Alfredo (for
> Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO authentication).
> To make the integration easy, HDFS Mavenization (HDFS-2096) would have to be
> done first, as well as the Alfredo contribution (HADOOP-7119).
