I think that reading data would be simple to be implemented, both in the HTTP API and even for a non java language (because we are using protobuf). Writing is difficult, because the java client writer is really the core of BookKeeper, it deals with fencing, ensemble changes.... It would be simple to write a client which pushes data to bookies but all the LAC+fencing protocols (+ metadata management) are hard to re-implement. Maybe the best option would be to add an HTTP API or some kind of proxy I will be happy to see such API Enrico > > -Ivan >
