Harsh J updated HADOOP-7659: ---------------------------- Attachment: HADOOP-7659.patch Going the doc way. > fs -getmerge isn't guaranteed to work well over non-HDFS filesystems > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7659 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7659 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.20.204.0 > Reporter: Harsh J > Assignee: Harsh J > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.24.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-7659.patch > > > When you use {{fs -getmerge}} with HDFS, you are guaranteed file list sorting > (part-00000, part-00001, onwards). When you use the same with other FSes we > bundle, the ordering of listing is not guaranteed at all. This is cause of > http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/File.html#list() which > we use internally for native file listing. > This should either be documented as a known issue on -getmerge help > pages/mans, or a consistent ordering (similar to HDFS) must be applied atop > the listing. I suspect the latter only makes it worthy for what we include - > while other FSes out there still have to deal with this issue. Perhaps we > need a recommendation doc note added to our API? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
