Refactor hdfs.server.datanode.BlockSender -----------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1461 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1461 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: data-node Reporter: Ramkumar Vadali BlockSender provides the functionality to send a block to a data node. But the current implementation requires the source of the block to be a data node. The RAID contrib project needs the functionality of sending a block to a data node, but cannot use hdfs.server.datanode.BlockSender because the constructor requires a datanode object. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2132 provides the motivation for this. The purpose of this jira is to refactor hdfs.server.datanode.BlockSender to have another constructor that does not need a DataNode object. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
