Janus Chow commented on HDFS-15579:
-----------------------------------
There is already some instruction for this constructor.
{code:java}
/**
* Create a path location from another path with the destinations sorted.
*
* @param other Other path location to copy from.
* @param firstNsId Identifier of the namespace to place first.
*/
{code}
The problem comes to me is that when I was reading the code of
MultipleDestinationMountTableResolver calling this constructor, the first idea
comes to me is that this constructor is to create a PathLocation with a
specified nsId, and I read on, I wouldn't get into the class to check more
details about this constructor.
So I wonder if it can be more specific from the name, like a function named
"sortDestination" returning a new PathLocation instead of a constructor. Just
wondering.

> Reporter: Janus Chow
> Priority: Minor
>
> There is a constructor of PathLocation as follows, it's for creating a new
> PathLocation with a prioritised nsId.
>
> {code:java}
> public PathLocation(PathLocation other, String firstNsId) {
> this.sourcePath = other.sourcePath;
> this.destOrder = other.destOrder;
> this.destinations = orderedNamespaces(other.destinations, firstNsId);
> }
> {code}
> When I was reading the code of MultipleDestinationMountTableResolver, I
> thought this constructor was to create a PathLocation with an override
> destination. It took me a while before I realize this is a constructor to
> sort the destinations inside.
> Maybe I think this constructor can be more clear about its usage?
