It is added as a separate role to Ozone, like S3G. + +HttpFS is a service that provides a REST HTTP gateway supporting File System operations (read and write). It is interoperable with the **webhdfs** REST HTTP API. + +HttpFS can be used to access data on an Ozone cluster behind of a firewall (the HttpFS service acts as a gateway and is the only system that is allowed to cross the firewall into the cluster). + +HttpFS can be used to access data in Ozone using HTTP utilities (such as curl and wget) and HTTP libraries Perl from other languages than Java. + +The **webhdfs** client FileSystem implementation can be used to access HttpFS using the Ozone filesystem command line tool (`ozone fs`) as well as from Java applications using the Hadoop FileSystem Java API. + +HttpFS has built-in security supporting Hadoop pseudo authentication and Kerberos SPNEGO and other pluggable authentication mechanisms. It also provides Hadoop proxy user support. + + +## Getting started + +HttpFS service itself is a Jetty based web-application that uses the Hadoop FileSystem API to talk to the cluster, it is a separate service which provides access to Ozone via a REST API. It should be started additionally to the regular Ozone components.
