Felix N commented on HDFS-17475:
--------------------------------
Hi [~ayushtkn], the requirements for this feature did indeed come from our
production users. While fsck can check if some blocks are missing, AFAIK, a
successful fsck doesn't guarantee all blocks being readable. This feature aims
to provide a method to verify a large number of files are readable or not
without going through the full read pipeline for each file.
> Add a command to check if files are readable

> Sometimes a job can fail due to one unreadable file down the line due to
> missing replicas or dead DNs or other reason. This command should allow users
> to check whether files are readable by checking for metadata on DNs without
> executing full read pipelines of the files.
