> libhdfs is now very hadoop specific, which is good since there are many hadoop attributes not present in things like stat structures. but, for things that want to access hdfs as a posix-like FS, they would benefit from a more standard API.
> fuse-dfs now does this itself, translating from hadoop specific structures from hadoop to posix structures like stat.  Let's put a layer on top of libhdfs that does this for us so others benefit from it.  Once stable, we can look at adding it to libhdfs as a libhdfs_posix_like.so or something.
