----------------------------------------------
> Regarding #3, having params being case sensitive it does not mean they have
> to be all lowercase. ...
This is a problem of case sensitive names: people have different preferences.
From the people I talked so far, if the names are case sensitive, some prefer
lowercase and some prefer camelCase. However, if the names are case
insensitive, everyone is fine (they won't ask for case sensitive.)
> Regarding #4, Having 'name' and 'localname' is not clear when you'll have one
> or the other. ...
I recall that full path had been sent in RPC through FileStatus but there were
some issues and then HdfsFileStatus with "localName" was added. I think we
should not make the same mistake again. Does "pathSuffix" sound good to you?
> Regarding #5, My issue here is that having an extra nested level for a
> possible conversion to XML. ...
We should support XML in the near future since some users may prefer XML over
JSON.
> Regarding #6, I disagree, ...
I see your point. Are you going to use WebHdfsFileSystem in HDFS for hoop but
not adding another FileSystem implementation?
