Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HDFS-16791: ---------------------------------------- Should probably move this to HADOOP. But I added you as a HDFS contributor regardless. It would be great to have a specification/design doc attached to the jira, so that other FS implementors know what to expect. > New API for enclosing root path for a file > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-16791 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-16791 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Tom McCormick > Assignee: Tom McCormick > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > > At LinkedIn we run many HDFS volumes that are federated by either > ViewFilesystem or Router Based Federation.
