Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9651: ---------------------------------------- Core patch looks good, though you need to make sure that your IDE isn't turning imports into .* imports -having them leave all imports alone is the best way to avoid gratuitous diff/merge problems. I'll add common contract tests for this then merge in the exception modifications > 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 > Attachments: HADOOP-9651.patch > > > 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.
