Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-2181: ----------------------------------- Thanks for the thorough explanation. The general architecture makes sense. It will be a bit of a pain to maintain, I think, but the benefits are probably worth it. A few general comments: - Can we prefix all of the classes in protocolR23Compatible with the string "R23"? So we have "R23Block" as the wire type and "Block" as the internal type? Or "R23WBlock" to stand for R23 Writable Block, perhaps? My thinking is that it will make the translator code easier to read because we don't need to fully qualify all of the wire types with the really long package name. It may also help in debugging since the short class name will differ. This is also helpful when developers use autocomplete in the IDE - we don't want to accidentally import the wire types into internal code. - Do we really need to duplicate the javadoc "The specification of this method matches that of ..." for every method in the R23 protocols? Just seems like a lot of boilerplate that will cause javadoc warnings later if we add arguments to existing methods in the non-wire protocol interface. ---- A few nits: - Need an extra ". " in this concatenation: {code} + throw new IOException("Namenode Serverside implements " + + ClientNamenodeProtocol.class + + "The following requested protocol is unknown: " + protocol); {code} ---- - There are a few spots where methods have arguments called {{arg0}}, {{arg1}}, etc. - The constants GET_STATS_CAPACITY_IDX, etc, should probably be part of the generic protocol, not the R23 protocol, since the FSNamesystem method itself returns the array of longs. Perhaps we can just file a follow-up JIRA to replace this with some kind of FileSystemStats class instead of the somewhat ugly array? > Seperate HDFS wire protocol data types > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2181 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2181 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Sanjay Radia > Assignee: Sanjay Radia > Attachments: separateDataType1.patch, separateDataType10.patch, > separateDataType11.patch, separateDataType12.patch, separateDataType13.patch, > separateDataType14.patch, separateDataType16.patch, separateDataType2.patch, > separateDataType6.patch, separateDataType7.patch, separateDataType8.patch, > separateDataType9.patch > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
