[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-574) want FileSystem implementation for Amazon S3

["Tom White (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Tom White commented on HADOOP-574:
----------------------------------

I've started work on this using a simple block design that borrows heavily from DFS. (I did a similar thing for the Java Map interface - although it was simpler - http://weblogs.java.net/blog/tomwhite/archive/2006/08/s3map.html) I should have something to show next week for discussion and review.

Any suggestions on which package should this go in? org.hadoop.s3fs or org.hadoop.fs.s3, or something else?

> An S3-based Hadoop FileSystem would make a great addition to Hadoop.
> It would facillitate use of Hadoop on Amazon's EC2 computing grid, as discussed here:

> This is related to HADOOP-571, which would make Hadoop's FileSystem considerably easier to extend.
