Boris Shkolnik updated HADOOP-5862: ----------------------------------- Status: Open (was: Patch Available) > Namespace quota exceeded message unclear > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5862 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5862 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Affects Versions: 0.18.0 > Reporter: eric baldeschwieler > Assignee: Boris Shkolnik > Fix For: 0.20.1 > > Attachments: HADOOP-5862.patch, HADOOP-5862.patch, HADOOP-5862.patch, > HADOOP-5862.patch > > > We seem to return one generic message when either a namespace or diskspace > quota is exceeded. We should be clearer. The error should state which > quota is exceeded and only report statistics on the exceeded quota. > Further namespace quota is probably not clear to most users. We should > probably have explanatory text such as: "you have exceeded the maximum > allowed number of files". Maybe we should even rename the quota to number of > files quota? > Finally, the error below would be clearer if it read: > Quota exceeded for directory '/user/ciyaliao'. > By not using the word "directory" it is not clear in this case if the issue > is with a user or a directory. > ------ AN EXAMPLE ----- > > Hi, > > > > I encountered an error: > > > > put: org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.protocol.QuotaExceededException: The quota of > > /user/x is exceeded: namespace quota=200000 file count=200001, > > diskspace quota=-1 diskspace=-44221467605496 > > > > It apparently complains that dfs quota is exceeded.
