Hudson commented on HDFS-1407: ------------------------------ Integrated in Hadoop-Hdfs-trunk-Commit #396 (See [https://hudson.apache.org/hudson/job/Hadoop-Hdfs-trunk-Commit/396/]) > Use Block in DataTransferProtocol > --------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1407 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1407 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Suresh Srinivas > Assignee: Suresh Srinivas > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: HDFS-1400.trunk.patch, HDFS-1400.trunk.patch > > > Currently DataTransferProtocol has methods such as: > {noformat} > public static void opReadBlock(DataOutputStream out, long blockId, > long blockGs, long blockOffset, long blockLen, String clientName, > Token<BlockTokenIdentifier> blockToken) throws IOException; > {noformat} > The client has to pass the individual elements that make block identification > such as blockId and generation stamp. I propose methods with the following > format: > {noformat} > public static void opReadBlock(DataOutputStream out, Block block, > long blockOffset, long blockLen, String clientName, > Token<BlockTokenIdentifier> blockToken) throws IOException; > {noformat} > With this, the client need not understand the internals of Block. It receives > Block over RPC and sends it in DataTransferProtocol. This helps in making > Block opaque to the client. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
