Rakesh R commented on HADOOP-13715:
-----------------------------------
Thanks [~drankye] for the useful thoughts. I could see encryption feature has
exposed APIs like, HdfsFileStatus has {{#getFileEncryptionInfo()}} exposed and
FileStatus contains {{#isEncrypted()}} flag, to tell whether the underlying
file or directory is encrypted or not. imho, EC could expose APIs in similar
lines.
> Add isErasureCoded() API to FileStatus class

> I would like to add a new API {{isErasureCoded()}} to {{FileStatus}} so that
> tools and downstream applications can tell if it needs to treat a file
> differently.
> Hadoop tools that can benefit from this effort include: distcp and
> teragen/terasort.
> Downstream applications such as flume or hbase may also benefit from it.
