Nicolas Spiegelberg commented on HADOOP-6840: --------------------------------------------- Note: this patch is necessary for both 0.20-append & 0.21 branch to resolve a critical data loss bug that we have in HBASE-2312. This patch has been crafted such that it only adds an API and does not necessitate the need for regression testing any of the existing APIs. > Support non-recursive create() in FileSystem & SequenceFile.Writer > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-6840 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6840 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs, io > Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.20-append > Reporter: Nicolas Spiegelberg > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HADOOP-6840_0.20-append.patch, HADOOP-6840_0.21-2.patch, > HADOOP-6840_0.21.patch > > > The proposed solution for HBASE-2312 requires the sequence file to handle a > non-recursive create. This is already supported by HDFS, but needs to have > an equivalent FileSystem & SequenceFile.Writer API. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
