Description

In building fuse-dfs, the compile fails due to an argument mismatch between call to hdfsConnectAsUser on line 40 of src/contrib/fuse-dfs/src/fuse_connect.c and an earlier definition of hdfsConnectAsUser given in src/c++/libhdfs/hdfs.h.
I suggest changing hdfs.h. I made the following change in hdfs.h in my local copy:

106c106,107
< hdfsFS hdfsConnectAsUser(const char* host, tPort port, const char *user);
—
> // hdfsFS hdfsConnectAsUser(const char* host, tPort port, const char *user);
> hdfsFS hdfsConnectAsUser(const char* host, tPort port, const char user, const char* groups, int numgroups);

This new version successfully compiles.
