Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-6994:
----------------------------------------
bq. (boost as support for older compilers)
I'm very much against boost showing up in Hadoop in any way, shape, or form.
It's *always* long term pain. I'd much rather take the short term hit of
requiring a modern compiler than deal with boost.
bq. I don't have a problem with naming it libhdfs3, but users might wonder what
libhdfs2 was
It's actually a bigger support problem:
Alice: "What version of libhdfs are you using?"
Bob: "I'm using v3!"
Alice: "Ugh, what version of libhdfs3 are you using?"
...
(I say this as someone who early in their career had to support something
called AutoInstall3. It was a nightmare...)
bq. How about libndfs++ as a name?
Ha. I was thinking "what name would I recommend instead?" this morning and came
up with libhdfs++. :)

> Hi All
> I just got the permission to open source libhdfs3, which is a native C/C++
> HDFS client based on Hadoop RPC protocol and HDFS Data Transfer Protocol.
> libhdfs3 provide the libhdfs style C interface and a C++ interface. Support
> both HADOOP RPC version 8 and 9. Support Namenode HA and Kerberos
> authentication.
> libhdfs3 is currently used by HAWQ of Pivotal
> I'd like to integrate libhdfs3 into HDFS source code to benefit others.
> You can find libhdfs3 code from github
> https://github.com/PivotalRD/libhdfs3
