Weiwei Yang commented on HDFS-11189:
------------------------------------

Hello [~guadilla]

{{HttpURLConnection}} class has a static method 
[setFollowRedirects|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html#setFollowRedirects(boolean)]
 sets a global flag, and [setInstanceFollowRedirects 
|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/HttpURLConnection.html#setInstanceFollowRedirects(boolean)]
 is using that as a default value. So it could be possible other libraries 
calls {{setFollowRedirects}} that changes the behaviour. 

However I just tried to set this value to false and tested open() *2-step-opt* 
and getFileBlockLocations() *1-step-opt*, 
{code}
HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(false);
WebHdfsFileSystem sw = (WebHdfsFileSystem) FileSystem.get(new URI(uri), conf);
FSDataInputStream in = sw.open(new Path(path));
...
{code} 
they both worked fine. What was the error you saw? Can you get this issue 
reproduced?

>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: webhdfs
>    Affects Versions: 2.7.3
>         Environment: We are using webhdfs from a j2ee environment with java 
> 6. In the web application we have a lot of libraries: spring, jersey, 
> jackson...
>            Reporter: Oscar Guadilla
>         Attachments: WebHdfsFileSystem.java
>
>
> In some cases with simple operations (get file - non two step operation) we 
> detect that FollowRedirects flag of http comes as "false" and it makes 
> webhdfs crash.
> We don't really know which library change this behavior and it is really 
> strange because the change is done directly in the jvm because in other 
> wars/ears of the same j2ee server it fails also. If we restart the j2ee 
> server it starts working again.
> To fix the problem we changed the WebHdfsFileSystem class adding 
> "setInstanceFollowRedirects(true)" in the connection management instead of 
> supposing that it should be true and it works fine.
> The same problem arises both in 1.x and 2.x webhdfs. We didn't test in 3.x
> Could you fix it? We did it in our environment but it would fine in it could 
> be included in the next releases.
> Thanks in advance,
> Oscar
