André Oriani commented on HDFS-1111:
------------------------------------
If it were C++ I would consider something like
{code}
public:
FileStatus[] Namenode::getCorruptFiles( bool& isComplete){
...
}
{code}
translating it to Java will be something like
{code}
public FileStatus[] getCorruptFiles( boolean[] isComplete){
...
}
{code}
Okay, I agree . It is too much ugly. I don't even know if it will work with
RPC.
> getCorruptFiles() should give some hint that the list is not complete

>
> If the list of corruptfiles returned by the namenode doesn't say anything if
> the number of corrupted files is larger than the call output limit (which
> means the list is not complete). There should be a way to hint incompleteness
> to clients.
> A simple hack would be to add an extra entry to the array returned with the
> value null. Clients could interpret this as a sign that there are other
> corrupt files in the system.
> We should also do some rephrasing of the fsck output to make it more
> confident when the list is not complete and less confident when the list is
> known to be incomplete.
