--------------------------------------
Hi [~daryn],
The proposed solution here tries to address distcp, your comment made me aware
of that "hadoop fs -cp" would have the same problem to solve. Thanks again for
that.
There are several proposals so far:
1. HDFS-12202, add a new set of interface to getFileStatus and listStatus, call
this set of interface when needed to solve the problem (distcp, "hadoop fs -cp"
etc)
Pros: clear interface, no confusion
Cons: change is too wide. Have to introduce dummy implementation for
FileSystems that don't support attribute provider.
2. HDFS-12294, encode the additional parameter to the path string itself, and
extract the prefix from path string. And add the prefix when needed to solve
the problem (distcp, "hadoop fs -cp" etc)
Pros: no need to change FileSystem interface
Cons: inconsistent path string at different places potentially. Since the
prefix is only relevant to certain operations.
3. let the external attribute provider to fall through to HDFS if it's a
certain user. This is discussed in HDFS-12202 comment.
Pros: maybe simpler to implement
Cons: potentially won't work (since the same user may want to get data from
attribute provider, and other user need to run distcp and "hadoop fs -cp" too)
[~daryn], [~chris.douglas], [~asuresh], [~andrew.wang], [~manojg], thanks for
your comment earlier, do you think my summary above is reasonable? any better
idea or further thoughts to share?
Really appreciate it.

> Let NameNode to support prefix /.reserved/bypassExtAttr, so client can add
> thisprefix to a path before calling getFileStatus, e.g. /ab/c becomes
> /.reserved/bypassExtAttr/a/b/c. NN will parse the path at the very beginning,
> and bypass external attribute provider if the prefix is there.
