Kai Zheng commented on HDFS-12222:
----------------------------------
I thought a little bit more about this, Huafeng. Could you help check if it
works for you? Thanks!
Even we use ECSchema info in hadoop common side codes, it's still tricky to use
that info to parse for a erasure coded block locations in hadoop common side
since we may need couple with HDFS internals.
Could we have a hadoop common class like {{ErasureCodedBlockLocation}} which
contain methods to get data/parity block locations plus cell size info and it
can be passed into a new {{LocatedFileStatus}} constructor. The object of
ErasureCodedBlockLocation can be constructed with parsed info in HDFS side.

> Key: HDFS-12222
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12222
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha1
> Reporter: Andrew Wang
> Assignee: Huafeng Wang
> Labels: hdfs-ec-3.0-nice-to-have
>
> HDFS applications query block location information to compute splits. One
> example of this is FileInputFormat:
> https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/d4015f8628dd973c7433639451a9acc3e741d2a2/hadoop-mapreduce-project/hadoop-mapreduce-client/hadoop-mapreduce-client-core/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/FileInputFormat.java#L346
> You see bits of code like this that calculate offsets as follows:
> {noformat}
> long bytesInThisBlock = blkLocations[startIndex].getOffset() +
> blkLocations[startIndex].getLength() - offset;
> {noformat}
> EC confuses this since the block locations include parity block locations as
> well, which are not part of the logical file length. This messes up the
> offset calculation and thus topology/caching information too.
> Applications can figure out what's a parity block by reading the EC policy
> and then parsing the schema, but it'd be a lot better if we exposed this more
> generically in BlockLocation instead.
