Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-9241:
----------------------------------
Though I don't think this is a strictly incompatible change as the applications
won't break if they still depend on hadoop-hdfs, I see a lot of values to allow
the applications to just change their dependency to hadoop-hdfs-client and
without changing the code.
I think the proposal makes a lot of sense. +1 on the proposal. [~liuml07], do
you agree?
> HDFS clients can't construct HdfsConfiguration instances

> Key: HDFS-9241
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9241
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: hdfs-client
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Assignee: Mingliang Liu
> Attachments: HDFS-9241.000.patch

>
> the changes for the hdfs client classpath make instantiating
> {{HdfsConfiguration}} from the client impossible; it only lives server side.
> This breaks any app which creates one.
> I know people will look at the {{@Private}} tag and say "don't do that then",
> but it's worth considering precisely why I, at least, do this: it's the only
> way to guarantee that the hdfs-default and hdfs-site resources get on the
> classpath, including all the security settings. It's precisely the use case
> which {{HdfsConfigurationLoader.init();}} offers internally to the hdfs code.
> What am I meant to do now?
