Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-2631:
---------------------------------------
Eli, thanks for updating the summary.
bq. One of the things that made HDFS-2656 hard to follow is that no target
version was set so it was hard to see what release the change was intended for.
Not sure I understand this comment and why it was hard to follow. When nothing
is provided in these fields is it not intended for trunk?

> We should port the implementation of fuse-dfs to use the webhdfs protocol.
> This has a number of benefits:
> * Compatibility - allows a single fuse client to work across server versions
> * Works with both WebHDFS and Hoop since they are protocol compatible
> * Removes the overhead related to libhdfs (forking a jvm)
> * Makes it easier to support features like security
