Sean Mackrory commented on HDFS-7878:
-------------------------------------
{quote}Wire compatibility with HDFS{quote}
How do commented out lines ensure wire compatibility? It would make sense if
these were obsolete fields and we didn't want to reuse obsolete number in case
older messages get misinterpreted, but then we should be reusing. Nevertheless,
it appears we're not doing that in the latest patch anymore.
I do think this resolves my previous concerns with the patch. In
testCrossSerializationProto and testJavaSerialization we're removing assertions
that the PathHandle to what should be the same file should be identical. Isn't
that still true, and should be?

> INode ID for the file should be easy to expose; alternatively ID could be
> derived from block IDs, to account for appends...
> This is useful e.g. for cache key by file, to make sure cache stays correct
> when file is overwritten.
