Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8761: ------------------------------------- True, it's incompatible yet correct behavior. I guess our options are codify the bad behavior forever, or fix it now. I lean toward the latter since there's enough churn in 2.x that this will be a minor inconvenience for people to adjust. What do the other watchers/lurkers think? > Help for FsShell's Stat incorrectly mentions "file size in blocks" (should be > bytes) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-8761 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8761 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha > Reporter: Philip Zeyliger > Assignee: Philip Zeyliger > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HADOOP-8761.patch.txt > > > Trivial patch attached corrects the usage information. Stat.java calls > FileStatus.getLen(), which is most definitely the file size in bytes. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
