Hi Ozone Devs! I am starting this discussion thread for proposing to merge the HttpFS support in Ozone feature branch (HDDS-5447 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-5447>) to the master branch.
Ozone HttpFS is a WebHDFS compatible interface implementation, as a separate role it provides an easy integration with Ozone via REST API. It started with forking the existing HDFS HttpFS endpoint implementation, after that we solved some dependency issues and got rid of some of them. We removed the client side code of it, added handling for the (currently) unsupported operations. Integration tests were added for the ozone(secure) and ozone(secure)-ha environments. HDDS-5447 is a new feature, which added mainly new code to the project, there were no changes in the current behaviour. This implies that the risk is low that it affects or brokes something from the existing functionalities and features. There is one ongoing task, which is updating the module documentation and adding a proper page for the Ozone HttpFS, which is tracked under HDDS-5966 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-5966>. More information can be found on the wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=240883091 If there are no objections for the merge, we could start the official vote. Thanks, Zita and Pifta
