Description

Hello,

I noticed that the following is not possible with libhdfs3

hdfsFS fs = hdfsConnect("default", 0);

because of asserts such as:

PARAMETER_ASSERT(port > 0, NULL, EINVAL);

I could be nice to allow that to be consistent with what is done in the native libhdfs (JNI).
The file of interest in the native library is:
