David Powell commented on HDFS-5194:
------------------------------------

Hi Arpit,

Thanks for taking a look.  I'll try to work a requirements section into the 
next version of the doc.  For the time being, I'd summarize the key 
FsDatasetSpi requirements as:

- Support for non-File access (versatility)
- Support for implementations outside the org.apache.hadoop package 
(modularity, cleanliness)
- Support for short circuit (performance)
- Testing to ensure the above requirements continue to be met


> Robust support for alternate FsDatasetSpi implementations

> The existing FsDatasetSpi interface is well-positioned to permit extending 
> Hadoop to run natively on non-traditional storage architectures.  Before this 
> can be done, however, a number of gaps need to be addressed.  This JIRA 
> documents those gaps, suggests some solutions, and puts forth a sample 
> implementation of some of the key changes needed.
