             Summary: fix HDFS protobuf namespace conflicts
                 Key: HDFS-6161
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6161
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: datanode, namenode
            Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
            Priority: Minor


HDFS currently puts multiple protobuf definitions with the same name in the 
same protobuf namespace.

For example, {{QJournalProtocol}} defines {{HeartbeatRequestProto}} in package 
{{hadoop.hdfs}}, but DatanodeProtocol also defines something different, also 
called {{HeartbeatRequestProto}} and also in package {{hadoop.hdfs}}.

This isn't an issue in Java because the java PB compiler seems to disregard the 
PB namespaces, putting the generated {{QJournalProtocolProtos.java}} file in 
package {{org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.qjournal.protocol}} and the DN one in a 
different java namespace.  However, it is an issue when creating protobuf 
bindings in other languages.
