All, Haohui and I would like to pull code for an async io c++ hdfs client from https://github.com/haohui/libhdfspp as a new development branch. The motivation is to get a high performance asynchronous c++ hdfs client and the driving need is to support reading ORC files from HDFS without a jvm in the process. The read path is already working and I think it is a good time to move this project to Apache.
Thoughts, Owen
