Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-13502: ---------------------------------------- I'm aware of closed-source implementations that may be using the HCFS tests. Really this comes down to compatibility policy for the HCFS tests. I don't think we've discussed that in the past, and there are currently no audience/stability annotations. If we are committed to backward compatibility, then we're better off with the approach I took in patch 001. If we are not committed to backward compatibility for the HCFS tests, then we're free to change anything we want and repurpose is-blobstore as a purely descriptive flag. I have a slight preference for maintaining backward compatibility, but would welcome other opinions. > Rename/split fs.contract.is-blobstore flag used by contract tests. > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-13502 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13502 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: test > Reporter: Chris Nauroth > Assignee: Chris Nauroth > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HADOOP-13502-branch-2.001.patch > > > The {{fs.contract.is-blobstore}} flag guards against execution of several > contract tests to account for known limitations with blob stores.
