Matthew Farrellee commented on HDFS-4849: ----------------------------------------- As a member of the community trying to create a FileSystem implementation, I view these proposed changes as significant deviations from the semantics that are being described as part of HADOOP-9371. The changes will better some use cases while worsening others. The ability to implement them across all FileSystems will also vary dramatically. Please discuss the possibility of FileSystems optionally implementing these enhanced semantics as part of HADOOP-9371, and do not add them to a 2.0.X. > Idempotent create, append and delete operations. > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-4849 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4849 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: namenode > Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha > Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko > Assignee: Konstantin Shvachko > > create, append and delete operations can be made idempotent.
