Zhanwei.Wang commented on HDFS-2656:
------------------------------------
Great! Matteom. You have done a lot.
But I intend to implement a pure c lib which has almost the same interface with
libhdfs.
The benefit is
1) Only few codes of fuse-dfs need to be modified.
2) Users of libhdfs can easily use new lib instead of libhdfs.

> Currently, the implementation of libhdfs is based on JNI. The overhead of JVM
> seems a little big, and libhdfs can also not be used in the environment
> without hdfs.
> It seems a good idea to implement a pure c client by wrapping webhdfs. It
> also can be used to access different version of hdfs.
