Steve Loughran created HADOOP-9651: -------------------------------------- Summary: Filesystems to throw FileAlreadyExistsException in createFile(path, overwrite=false) when the file exists Key: HADOOP-9651 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9651 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Sub-task Components: fs Affects Versions: 2.1.0-beta Reporter: Steve Loughran Priority: Minor
While HDFS and other filesystems throw a {{FileAlreadyExistsException}} if you try to create a file that exists and you have set {{overwrite=false}}, {{RawLocalFileSystem}} throws a plain {{IOException}}. This makes it impossible to distinguish a create operation failing from a fixable problem (the file is there) and something more fundamental. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
