Chris Douglas created HDFS-10262: ------------------------------------ Summary: Change HdfsFileStatus::fileId to an opaque identifier Key: HDFS-10262 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10262 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: hdfs-client, webhdfs Reporter: Chris Douglas
HDFS exposes the INode ID as a long via HdfsFileStatus::getFileId. Since equality is the only valid client operation (sequential/monotonically increasing ids are not guaranteed in any spec; leases do not rely on any other property), this identifier can be opaque instead of assigning it a primitive type in HdfsFileStatus. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
