Brandon Li commented on HDFS-4750:
----------------------------------
@Allen{quote}Any clients besides Linux and Mac OS X? (FWIW: OS X's NFS client
has always been a bit flaky...) Have we thought about YANFS support?{quote}
Weeks ago, did some manual tests with Window NFSv3 client before we changed the
RPC authentication support form AUTH_NULL to AUTH_SYS. We didn't try it again
after the change. Mapping Windows users to Unix users may be needed to test it
again.
We looked a few other NFS implementations. Eventually we decide to implement
one. The major reason is that, the NFS should work around a few HDFS
limitations, and also tightly coupled with HDFS protocols.

> Key: HDFS-4750
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4750
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Brandon Li
> Assignee: Brandon Li
> Attachments: HADOOP-NFS-Proposal.pdf, nfs-trunk.patch

>
> Access HDFS is usually done through HDFS Client or webHDFS. Lack of seamless
> integration with client’s file system makes it difficult for users and
> impossible for some applications to access HDFS. NFS interface support is one
> way for HDFS to have such easy integration.
> This JIRA is to track the NFS protocol support for accessing HDFS. With HDFS
> client, webHDFS and the NFS interface, HDFS will be easier to access and be
> able support more applications and use cases.
> We will upload the design document and the initial implementation.
