Zhe Zhang updated HDFS-8833:
----------------------------
Attachment: HDFS-8833-HDFS-7285-merge.01.patch
Updating the patch to:
# Remove all references of {{ErasureCodingZone}} in {{src/main}}, will handle
{{test}} separately.
# Updated {{INodeFile}}, changing {{isStriped}} to {{erasureCodingPolicy}} in
header and added an API
# Changed how {{FSDirErasureCodingOp#getErasureCodingPolicyForPath}} queries EC
policy, taking into consideration the policy stored in file header
# Updated the main test {{TestErasureCodingZones}}
Version 00 patch is mostly refactoring and this patch has some logic-level
changes.
> Erasure coding: store EC schema and cell size in INodeFile and eliminate

> storing EC schema with files instead of EC zones and recently revisited the
> discussion under HDFS-8059.
> As a recap, the _zone_ concept has severe limitations including renaming and
> nested configuration. Those limitations are valid in encryption for security
> reasons and it doesn't make sense to carry them over in EC.
> This JIRA aims to store EC schema and cell size on {{INodeFile}} level. For
> simplicity, we should first implement it as an xattr and consider memory
> optimizations (such as moving it to file header) as a follow-on. We should
> also disable changing EC policy on a non-empty file / dir in the first phase.
