Qi Liu commented on HDFS-814: ----------------------------- Please take a look at HDFS-246. Is there any reason why HDFS-246 is not applied? It seems to me that this patch is only a subset of HDFS-246. > Add an api to get the visible length of a DFSDataInputStream. > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-814 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-814 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: hdfs client > Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Assignee: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Fix For: 0.21.0, 0.22.0 > > Attachments: getLength-yahoo-0.20.patch, h814_20091221.patch, > h814_20091221_0.21.patch, privateInputStream.patch > > > Hflush guarantees that the bytes written before are visible to the new > readers.
