Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-7822:
----------------------------------
Here is the initial proposal for starting the discussion
- Make the server-side to work with both the old (non-compliant) and the new
(compliant) clients.
- Make the client-side to work either in the standard mode or in the
compatibility mode based on a config variable.
- The default config can be flipped to the standard mode after some number of
releases.
- Optionally, at some point in the future (after 2 major version changes?),
remove the compatibility mode.
> Make webhdfs handling of URI stardard compliant

> Key: HDFS-7822
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7822
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Kihwal Lee
> Priority: Critical
>
> As seen in HDFS-7816, webhdfs client is not encoding URI properly. But since
> webhdfs is often used as the compatibility layer, we cannot simply fix it and
> break the compatibility. Instead, we should stage the fix so that breakages
> caused by incompatibility can be minimized.
