Hairong Kuang updated HDFS-814:
-------------------------------
Attachment: getLength-yahoo-0.20.patch
This patch allows a user to get a file's length from DFSOutputStream in 0.20.
If a user needs to open a file and fetch its length, it could do it in one RPC
with this patch so reducing one getFileStatus call. Different from the same API
in 0.20, The return value of getVisibleLength() always the same as the meta
info stored in NameNode's memory while the file is opened.
> Add an api to get the visible length of a DFSDataInputStream.

> readers. However, there is no way to get the length of the visible bytes.
> The visible length is useful in some applications like SequenceFile.
