Yongjun Zhang resolved HDFS-12294.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Let distcp to bypass external attribute provider when calling getFileStatus
> etc at source cluster
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-12294
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12294
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: hdfs
> Reporter: Yongjun Zhang
> Assignee: Yongjun Zhang
>
> This is an alternative solution for HDFS-12202, which proposed introducing a
> new set of API, with an additional boolean parameter bypassExtAttrProvider,
> so to let NN bypass external attribute provider when getFileStatus. The goal
> is to avoid distcp from copying attributes from one cluster's external
> attribute provider and save to another cluster's fsimage.
> The solution here is, instead of having an additional parameter, encode this
> parameter to the path itself, when calling getFileStatus (and some other
> calls), NN will parse the path, and figure out that whether external
> attribute provider need to be bypassed. The suggested encoding is to have a
> prefix to the path before calling getFileStatus, e.g. /ab/c becomes
> /.reserved/bypassExtAttr/a/b/c. NN will parse the path at the very beginning.
> Thanks much to [~andrew.wang] for this suggestion. The scope of change is
> smaller and we don't have to change the FileSystem APIs.
