Íñigo Goiri commented on HDFS-7878:
-----------------------------------
I'm going through the HDFS code itself and it might be good to document the
.reserved folder structure.
Probably also adding a unit test for the {{DFSUtilClient#makePathFromFileId}}
more for documenting than for actual testing.

> Even though that is resolved as duplicate, the ID is actually not exposed by
> the JIRA it supposedly duplicates.
> INode ID for the file should be easy to expose; alternatively ID could be
> derived from block IDs, to account for appends...
> This is useful e.g. for cache key by file, to make sure cache stays correct
> when file is overwritten.
