Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-5122: ---------------------------------- Hi Alejandro, I believe that this patch realizes your intuitions from 3~6, mostly reusing the current retry logic of WebHDFS. For (1), can you please elaborate your ideas on why introducing an additional redirector on the server side? Right now the client will get a StandbyException and simply retry. For (2), I appreciate if you could kindly give me a pointer to the actual method. For (7), this patch forgets about the delegation token when the client connects to a different name node. Based on my understanding it should be a simple approach to get things working. I'm wondering whether WebHDFS needs a more sophisticated approach here. Can you elaborate how the DFS client handle this case? > WebHDFS should support logical service names in URIs > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-5122 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5122 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: ha, webhdfs > Affects Versions: 2.1.0-beta > Reporter: Arpit Gupta > Assignee: Haohui Mai > Attachments: HDFS-5122.patch > > > For example if the dfs.nameservices is set to arpit > {code} > hdfs dfs -ls webhdfs://arpit:50070/tmp > or > hdfs dfs -ls webhdfs://arpit/tmp > {code} > does not work > You have to provide the exact active namenode hostname.
