Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-14872: ----------------------------------------- off the record, I'm not happy that the HDFS team chose to implement a method without: specifying it or taking any attempts to think about other filesystems. now its being used in Apps (HBase catches and complains), here Impala breaks. I think we need a more fundamental change than doing it piecemeal, and making it a no-op with the hasCapabilities option oin 2.9+ would do this. I'm sure the HDFS team will express concern when you and I patch their classes, but that's what happens when you break downstream code. > CryptoInputStream should implement unbuffer > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-14872 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14872 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 2.6.4 > Reporter: John Zhuge > Assignee: John Zhuge > Attachments: HADOOP-14872.001.patch, HADOOP-14872.002.patch, > HADOOP-14872.003.patch > > > Discovered in IMPALA-5909. > Opening an encrypted HDFS file returns a chain of wrapped input streams: > {noformat} > HdfsDataInputStream > CryptoInputStream > DFSInputStream > {noformat} > If an application such as Impala or HBase calls HdfsDataInputStream#unbuffer, > FSDataInputStream#unbuffer will be called: > {code:java} > try { > ((CanUnbuffer)in).unbuffer(); > } catch (ClassCastException e) { > throw new UnsupportedOperationException("this stream does not " + > "support unbuffering."); > } > {code} > If the {{in}} class does not implement CanUnbuffer, UOE will be thrown.
