--------------------------------

             Summary: ViewFS should check the existence of the mapped namespace 
directories in the mount table
                 Key: HDFS-5712
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5712
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: federation
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: Brandon Li


ViewFS doesn't validate the mount table mapping. Even the mapped directory on 
NameNode doesn't exist, list directories or "dfs -ls"  command can still show 
the mapped directory.

This confuses users and applications when they try to create files under the 
mapped directories. They will get file-not-exist error but viewfs shows the 
directory exists.

It would be less misleading if ViewFS can validate the  mount table and report 
found errors.
