Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HDFS-10974: ---------------------------------------- I think the easiest approach is to add this note somewhere in the HDFS Erasure Coding doc so that admins do not panic :) Most tools like -ls, -stat use FileStatus which is an abstraction for all file systems. Some of the file systems do not support replication factor (e.g. S3) so this is not unexpected. > Document replication factor for EC files. > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-10974 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10974 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation, erasure-coding > Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha1 > Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang > Assignee: Yiqun Lin > > The replication factor of an EC file is 0 from a user perspective. This > affects all user visible commands and APIs, such as {{hdfs dfs -ls}}, {{hdfs > dfs -stat}}, webhdfs, httpfs...etc. > In addition, FileSystem#setReplication API for an EC file is ignored. So is > the command {{hdfs dfs -setrep}} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
