Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-1111: ------------------------------------------- > If I remember correctly, there is another message So what exactly will it print under the conditions (of your example) above? I see that {{getCorruptFiles()}} was introduced in HDFS-729 as a part of fsck changes related to -list-corruptfiles. And it is not necessary for fsck. Do you agree with that? RaidNode has not been mentioned before, not here, not in HDFS-729. ClientProtocol is HDFS-private api according to recently adopted classification. This means that external tools should not use or depend on it. > getCorruptFiles() should give some hint that the list is not complete > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1111 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1111 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Rodrigo Schmidt > Assignee: Rodrigo Schmidt > Attachments: HADFS-1111.0.patch > > > If the list of corruptfiles returned by the namenode doesn't say anything if > the number of corrupted files is larger than the call output limit (which > means the list is not complete).
