Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-4185:
--------------------------------------
> clients cannot tell whether the fs supports checksum
We could have the method return a boolean.
/** @returns true if data verification is enabled. */
public boolean setVerifyData(boolean) { return false; }
But do clients actually care whether the fs supports verification? At this
point the FsShell does not care. All that it requires is that one can say, "if
you support checksums, disable them", which is what the current patch
implements. If we someday in the future need to support such inquiries, then
we can add support for that then. But right now, I don't see that that is
needed.
I'm +1 for the patch as-is.
