Samuel Low created HDFS-10684: --------------------------------- Summary: WebHDFS calls fail when boolean parameters not provided Key: HDFS-10684 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10684 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: webhdfs Affects Versions: 2.7.1 Reporter: Samuel Low
Optional boolean parameters that are not provided in the URL cause the WebHDFS create file command to fail. curl -i -X PUT "http://hadoop-primarynamenode:50070/webhdfs/v1/tmp/test1234?op=CREATE&overwrite=false" Response: HTTP/1.1 307 TEMPORARY_REDIRECT Cache-Control: no-cache Expires: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 04:10:13 GMT Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 04:10:13 GMT Pragma: no-cache Expires: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 04:10:13 GMT Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 04:10:13 GMT Pragma: no-cache Content-Type: application/octet-stream Location: http://hadoop-datanode1:50075/webhdfs/v1/tmp/test1234?op=CREATE&namenoderpcaddress=hadoop-primarynamenode:8020&overwrite=false Content-Length: 0 Server: Jetty(6.1.26) Following the redirect: curl -i -X PUT -T MYFILE "http://hadoop-datanode1:50075/webhdfs/v1/tmp/test1234?op=CREATE&namenoderpcaddress=hadoop-primarynamenode:8020" Response: HTTP/1.1 100 Continue HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 162 Connection: close {"RemoteException":{"exception":"IllegalArgumentException","javaClassName":"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException","message":"Failed to parse \"null\" to Boolean."}} The problem can be circumvented by providing both "createparent" and "overwrite" parameters. However, this is not possible when I have no control over the WebHDFS calls, e.g. Ambari and Hue have errors due to this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: hdfs-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: hdfs-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org
