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

@Arpit, 

I'm trying to understand -in a general way- how the additional levels 
indicating a class-name (container-name) simplify the creation of XML. I've 
tried using json-lib JSON to XML but it does not achieve the desired results. 
Futhermore, with json-lib it seems easier not have the class-name 
(container-name).

Again, I mean in a 'general way'. Having a syntax that is convenient for 
parsing using a specific library doesn't seem the right approach.

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

> 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
