-------------------------------------

             Summary: Formalize coding standards for libhdfs++ and put them in a README.txt
                 Key: HDFS-9328
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9328
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: James Clampffer
            Assignee: Haohui Mai
            Priority: Blocker


We have 2-3 people working on this project full time and hopefully more people will start contributing.  In order to efficiently scale we need a single, easy to find, place where developers can check to make sure they are following the coding standards of this project to both save their time and save the time of people doing code reviews.

The most practical place to do this seems like a README file in libhdfspp/. 

The foundation of the standards is google's C++ guide found here: https://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.html

Any exceptions to google's standards or additional restrictions need to be explicitly enumerated so there is one single point of reference for all libhdfs++ code standards.
