Marton Elek commented on HDDS-5447:
-----------------------------------
Thanks to explain it [~pifta]
For me it seems to be more natural in the opposite direction: If we already
have the code in Hadoop it seems to be more reasonable to clean it up there.
Obviously, it may require small changes in Ozone HCFS implementation but as far
as I understand there is no blocking issue as we understand int know.
I think the community may benefit better if we improve and maintain the
existing code instead of forking it and duplicate all the efforts...
> HttpFS support in Ozone
> -----------------------
>
> Key: HDDS-5447
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-5447
> Project: Apache Ozone
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Ozone Client, Ozone Manager
> Reporter: Aravindan Vijayan
> Assignee: István Fajth
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: HTTPFS interface for Ozone.pdf
>
>
> There are several tools out there mainly written in Python, that uses the
> webhdfs interface to connect to HDFS. Even there are quite a few other
> filesystem implementations that provide access via the same rest interface
> that HDFS provides.
> HUE also implements the HDFS file browser by accessing HDFS via the REST API
> either on the NameNodes or on HTTPFS Server instances added to the HDFS
> service.
> This gave the inspiration to check and experiment what is required to support
> a similar REST endpoint over Ozone.
> The advantage is that we can ease the migration of tools developed in-house
> that are using this interface of HDFS, while we can add the possibility to
> browse Ozone from HUE.
> There is literally no disadvantage of having such an interface, as we can
> implement it as a separate module which does not have any interference with
> the rest of the code, as the REST endpoint as with HTTPFS will use a regular
> Java based Ozone client to serve any requests.
