libwebhdfs has been retired in 2.8.0 due to the lack of maintenance.
Description
This library is basically a mess:
- It's not part of the mvn package
- It's missing functionality and barely maintained
- It's not in the precommit runs so doesn't get exercised regularly
- It's not part of the unit tests (at least, that I can see)
- It isn't documented in any official documentation
But most importantly:
- It fails at it's primary mission of being pure C (
HDFS-3917is STILL open)
Let's cut our losses and just remove it.
