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. > webhdfs: a complete FileSystem implementation for accessing HDFS over HTTP > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2316 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2316 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Assignee: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Attachments: WebHdfsAPI20111020.pdf, WebHdfsAPI20111103.pdf > > > We current have hftp for accessing HDFS over HTTP.
