Todd Lipcon resolved HDFS-238.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Marking wontfix, seems like protobuf-based IPC and/or HTTPFS is probably the better way forward here.

> Open up DFS Protocol to allow non-Hadoop DFS clients to implement reads/writes.  Obviously, the NN need not be changed because the thriftfs server will serve up the same metadata - ie it's a bridge to the NN.
> This is useful because if we can do this in Java using more open APIs, we could do it in C++ or Python or Perl :)
> Doing it in Java first makes sense because we already have the DFSClient - kind of a proof of concept.
