Jean-Baptiste Onofré commented on BEAM-59:
------------------------------------------

Hi guys,

HDFS (and other filesystems like S3, ...) is a recurrent question. If we have the HdfsIO, I think it would make sense to remove it and to refactore FileBasedSource/FileBasedSink to support those new filesystems.

[~dhalperi@google.com] maybe we can work together on a proposal we can send on the mailing list ?

Thanks !

> Right now, FileBasedSource and FileBasedSink communication is mediated by IOChannelFactory. There are a number of issues:
> * Global configuration -- e.g., all 'gs://' URIs use the same credentials. This should be per-source/per-sink/etc.
> * Supported APIs -- currently IOChannelFactory is in the "non-public API" util package and subject to change. We need users to be able to add new backends ('s3://', 'hdfs://', etc.) directly, without fear that they will be broken.
> * Per-backend features: e.g., creating buckets in GCS/s3, setting expiration time, etc.
