Rodrigo Schmidt commented on HDFS-1111: --------------------------------------- I talked to Dhruba about this. Since we might want to extend this API in the future, it sounds better to create a new return class. @André: I thing using the class Boolean would work in centralized Java (no need to create the array). Anyway, the RPC mechanism passes parameters by value as far as I remember, which means we have to change the return class. > getCorruptFiles() should give some hint that the list is not complete > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1111 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1111 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Rodrigo Schmidt > Assignee: Rodrigo Schmidt > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
