However, fs.getFileStatus(file).getLen() > does not return the hflushed length for un-closed file since the Namenode > does not know the hflushed length. DFSClient have to ask a datanode for the > length last block which is being written; see also HDFS-570. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
