I've never tried, but it seems possible to start a Httpfs server with
fs.defaultFS = s3a://your-bucket
Httpfs server speaks WebHDFS protocol so your webhdfs client can use
webhdfs. And then for each webhdfs request, httpfs server translates that
into the corresponding FileSystem API call. If the fs.defaultFS is the
s3a:// URI, it may be able to talk to s3.
