[jira] [Commented] (HDFS-2656) Implement a pure c client based on webhdfs

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2656?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13166815#comment-13166815 ] 

Zhanwei.Wang commented on HDFS-2656:
------------------------------------

I am working on a new pure c hdfs client named libchdfs. It has almost the same interface with libhdfs. Any comment are welcomed.

> Currently, the implementation of libhdfs is based on JNI. The overhead of JVM seems a little big, and libhdfs can also not be used in the environment without hdfs.
> It seems a good idea to implement a pure c client by wrapping webhdfs. It also can be used to access different version of hdfs.
