[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-2885) Restructure the hadoop.dfs package

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2885?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12571627#action_12571627 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-2885:
--------------------------------------

It would be more consistent to move the dfs package to org.apache.hadoop.fs.hdfs, and to rename the DistributedFileSystem class to be HDFS. There should be few compatibility issues with this, since applications should not refer directly to hdfs classes. If needed, we could possibly create a org.apache.hadoop.dfs.DistributedFileSystem subclass of org.apache.hadoop.fs.hdfs.HDFS for one release.

The src/java directory would better be split not in two, but in three: src/java/{core,mapred,hdfs}. Splitting HDFS into its own tree will help keep the many internal APIs made public by this restructuring from appearing in end-user javadocs, and also better reflect system layering.

> This Jira proposes restructurign the package hadoop.dfs.
> 1. Move all server side and internal protocols (NN-DD etc) to hadoop.dfs.server.*
> 2. Further breakdown of dfs.server.
> - dfs.server.namenode.*
> - dfs.server.datanode.*
> - dfs.server.balancer.*
> - dfs.server.common.* - stuff shared between the various servers
> - dfs.protocol.*  - internal protocol between DN, NN and Balancer etc.
> 3. Client interface:
> - hadoop.dfs.DistributedFileSystem.java
> - hadoop.dfs.ChecksumDistributedFileSystem.java
> - hadoop.dfs.HftpFilesystem.java
> - hadoop.dfs.protocol.* - the client side protocol
