Chris Douglas commented on HDFS-10262: -------------------------------------- For compatibility with existing 2.x clients, the signature for {{getFileId}} should not change, and the "fileId" field should still be populated as a long in WebHDFS. > Change HdfsFileStatus::fileId to an opaque identifier > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-10262 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10262 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: hdfs-client, webhdfs > Reporter: Chris Douglas > > HDFS exposes the INode ID as a long via HdfsFileStatus::getFileId. Since > equality is the only valid client operation (sequential/monotonically > increasing ids are not guaranteed in any spec; leases do not rely on any > other property), this identifier can be opaque instead of assigning it a > primitive type in HdfsFileStatus. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
