Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-13310: ----------------------------------------- [~cnauroth] any plans for a patch here? > S3A reporting of file group as empty is harmful to compatibility for the > shell. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-13310 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13310 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: fs/s3 > Reporter: Chris Nauroth > Priority: Minor > > S3A does not persist group information in file metadata. Instead, it stubs > the value of the group to an empty string. Although the JavaDocs for > {{FileStatus#getGroup}} indicate that empty string is a possible return > value, this is likely to cause compatibility problems. Most notably, shell > scripts that expect to be able to perform positional parsing on the output of > things like {{hadoop fs -ls}} will stop working if retargeted from HDFS to > S3A. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
