Nanda kumar commented on HDDS-271: ---------------------------------- As this is an iterator we can throw NoSuchElementException if the iteration has no more element instead of returning null. If hasNext returns true we should be able to return the next block on nextBlock call. Consider a case where we have two blocks \[key1:block1, #deleting#key2:block2\]. For the first hasNext call we will return true and the nextBlock call will return key1:block1. For the second hasNext call we will return true but the nextBlock call will return null. This will create inconsistent behavior in code wherever the iterator is used. We cannot fully rely on hasNext call anymore. > Create a block iterator to iterate blocks in a container > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDDS-271 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-271 > Project: Hadoop Distributed Data Store > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Bharat Viswanadham > Assignee: Bharat Viswanadham > Priority: Major > Fix For: 0.2.1 > > Attachments: HDDS-271.00.patch, HDDS-271.01.patch, HDDS-271.02.patch, > HDDS-271.03.patch > > > Create a block iterator to scan all blocks in a container. > This one will be useful during implementation of container scanner. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
