Colin Patrick McCabe updated HADOOP-8614: ----------------------------------------- Status: Patch Available (was: Open) > IOUtils#skipFully hangs forever on EOF > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8614 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8614 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.1-alpha > Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe > Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe > Attachments: HADOOP-8614.001.patch > > > IOUtils#skipFully contains this code: > {code} > public static void skipFully(InputStream in, long len) throws IOException { > while (len > 0) { > long ret = in.skip(len); > if (ret < 0) { > throw new IOException( "Premature EOF from inputStream"); > } > len -= ret; > } > } > {code} > The Java documentation is silent about what exactly skip is supposed to do in > the event of EOF. However, I looked at both InputStream#skip and > ByteArrayInputStream#skip, and they both simply return 0 on EOF (no > exception). So it seems safe to assume that this is the standard Java way of > doing things in an InputStream. > Currently IOUtils#skipFully will loop forever if you ask it to skip past EOF! -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
