Weiwei Yang commented on HDFS-11156:
------------------------------------

Hello [~andrew.wang]

Thank you for raising up your concern. I may not fully get your point, I think 
we are maintaining the compatibility here. Webhdfs GET_BLOCK_LOCATIONS is still 
working as before, see [this comment | 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11156?focusedCommentId=15711204&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15711204],
 and {{WebHdfsFileSystem#getFileBlockLocations}} is still returning 
{{BlockLocation[]}} as before, nothing really changes. Can you please give me 
some more detail what would be broken? I can test the scenario in advance.

Thanks

> Following webhdfs REST API
> {code}
> http://<HOST>:<PORT>/webhdfs/v1/<PATH>?op=GET_BLOCK_LOCATIONS&offset=0&length=1
> {code}
> will get a response like
> {code}
> {
>   "LocatedBlocks" : {
>     "fileLength" : 1073741824,
>     "isLastBlockComplete" : true,
>     "isUnderConstruction" : false,
>     "lastLocatedBlock" : { ... },
>     "locatedBlocks" : [ {...} ]
>   }
> }
> {code}
> This represents for *o.a.h.h.p.LocatedBlocks*. However according to 
> *FileSystem* API, 
> {code}
> public BlockLocation[] getFileBlockLocations(Path p, long start, long len)
> {code}
> clients would expect an array of BlockLocation. This mismatch should be 
> fixed. Marked as Incompatible change as this will change the output of the 
> GET_BLOCK_LOCATIONS API.
