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

Regarding #1, I'm not sure SQL is a good example of this, SQL is a mess, it 
depends on the SQL vendor and how the SQL DB is configured.

Regarding #4, OK

Regarding #5, assuming that that is the case (that clients would do the 
conversion), would you please tell me what kind of libraries would help to do 
such conversion by having the root/array names as being proposed? And how this 
conversion is made simple by having those elements?

Regarding #6, let me rephrase my previous comment, if we have full 
interoperability between webhdfs and hoop then I don't see a need for having 2 
client implementations of the 'http' filesystem.

> 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.
