Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-8545: ---------------------------------- The implementation looks good to me. My question is whether there are any use cases where the command line tool is insufficient and you absolutely need a new API for this? > Add an API to fetch the total file length from a specific path, apart from > getting by default from root > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-8545 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8545 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: J.Andreina > Assignee: J.Andreina > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HDFS-8545.1.patch, HDFS-8545.2.patch, HDFS-8545.3.patch, > HDFS-8545.4.patch > > > Currently by default in FileSystem#getUsed() returns the total file size from > root. > It is good to have an api to return the total file size from specified path > ,same as we specify the path in "./hdfs dfs -du -s /path" . -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
