Implement a pure c client based on webhdfs
------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2656
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2656
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Zhanwei.Wang
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.
