Summary: webHdfsFileSystem fails to read files with chunked transfer encoding Key: HDFS-3577 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3577 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur Priority: Blocker Fix For: 2.0.1-alpha If reading a file large enough for which the httpserver running webhdfs/httpfs uses chunked transfer encoding (more than 24K in the case of webhdfs), then the WebHdfsFileSystem client fails with an IOException with message *Content-Length header is missing*. It looks like WebHdfsFileSystem is delegating opening of the inputstream to *ByteRangeInputStream.URLOpener* class, which checks for the *Content-Length* header, but when using chunked transfer encoding the *Content-Length* header is not present and the *URLOpener.openInputStream()* method thrown an exception. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
