Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8422: ------------------------------------- It's probably a good idea back-port to 1.x. The changes are rather minimal and low impact. The ramifications of not having the changes in 1.x are pretty bad. Viewfs will use a replication factor of 1 and the local filesystem's block size... Out of curiousity, why is HBase querying the default block size? Does it really need to? Ie. If only to pass to {{FileSystem#create}} calls, could it use the {{create}} methods with smaller signatures that automatically get the replication factor and block size for the new path? > FileSystem#getDefaultBlockSize and Replication don't use the given path > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8422 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8422 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Eli Collins > Priority: Minor > > The javadocs for FileSystem#getDefaultBlockSize and > FileSystem#getDefaultReplication claim that "The given path will be used to > locate the actual filesystem" however they both ignore the path. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
