webhdfs

Node.js WebHDFS REST API client library implementing Hadoop WebHDFS REST API (2.2.0) with an fs-like asynchronous interface. Current stable version is 1.2.0. The library provides streaming file operations (createReadStream, createWriteStream) and supports user, host, port, and path configuration. It offers a familiar Node.js filesystem API pattern for interacting with Hadoop HDFS via WebHDFS. Release cadence is low; last release was several years ago. Differentiators include simplicity, minimal dependencies, and stream-based operations.
