----------------------------------------
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.
