M. C. Srivas commented on HDFS-2413: ------------------------------------ This should be normal behavior part of all file-system ops. It is not practical for a programmer to wrap all file access calls (eg, write, mkdir, open) with "wait for NN to leave safemode". > Add public APIs for safemode > ---------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2413 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2413 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: hdfs client > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > > Currently the APIs for safe-mode are part of DistributedFileSystem, which is > supposed to be a private interface. However, dependent software often wants > to wait until the NN is out of safemode. Though it could poll trying to > create a file and catching SafeModeException, we should consider making some > of these APIs public. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
