------------------------------------------

             Summary: Provide DFS API compatible call, but use 
ViewFileSystemOverloadScheme inside
                 Key: HDFS-15533
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-15533
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: dfs, viewfs
    Affects Versions: 3.4.0
            Reporter: Uma Maheswara Rao G
            Assignee: Uma Maheswara Rao G


I have been working on a thought from last week is that, we wanted to provide 
DFS compatible APIs with mount functionality. So, that existing DFS 
applications can work with out class cast issues.

When we tested with other components like Hive and HBase, I noticed some 
classcast issues.


{code:java}
HBase example:
java.lang.ClassCastException: 
org.apache.hadoop.fs.viewfs.ViewFileSystemOverloadScheme cannot be cast to 
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystemjava.lang.ClassCastException: 
org.apache.hadoop.fs.viewfs.ViewFileSystemOverloadScheme cannot be cast to 
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.DistributedFileSystem at 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.FSUtils.getDFSHedgedReadMetrics(FSUtils.java:1748) 
at 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.MetricsRegionServerWrapperImpl.<init>(MetricsRegionServerWrapperImpl.java:146)
 at 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer.handleReportForDutyResponse(HRegionServer.java:1594)
 at 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer.run(HRegionServer.java:1001) 
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748){code}
{code:java}
Hive:
|io.AcidUtils|: Failed to get files with ID; using regular API: Only supported 
for DFS; got class 
org.apache.hadoop.fs.viewfs.ViewFileSystemOverloadScheme{code}
SO, here the implementation details are like follows:

We extended DistributedFileSystem and created a class called " 
ViewDistributedFileSystem"
This vfs=ViewFirstibutedFileSystem, try to initialize 
ViewFileSystemOverloadScheme. If success call will delegate to  vfs. If fails 
to initialize due to no mount points, or other errors, it will just fallback to 
regular DFS init. If users does not configure any mount, system will behave 
exactly like today's DFS. If there are mount points, vfs functionality will 
come under DFS.

I will a patch and will post it in some time.
