> WebHDFS: Uploading a file again with the same naming convention
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-14062
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14062
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: webhdfs
> Affects Versions: 3.1.1
> Reporter: Arpit Khare
> Priority: Major
>
> *PROBLEM STATEMENT:*
> If we want to re-upload a file with the same name, to HDFS using WebHDFS
> APIs, WebHDFS APIs does not allow, giving error:
> {code:java}
> "exception":"FileAlreadyExistsException","javaClassName":"org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileAlreadyExistsException"
> {code}
> But from HDFS command we can force upload(overwrite) a file having same name:
> {code:java}
> hdfs dfs -put -f /tmp/file1.txt /user/ambari-test {code}
>
> Can we enable this feature via WebHDFS APIs also?
>
> *STEPS TO REPRODUCE:*
> 1. Create a directory in HDFS using WebHDFS API:
> {code:java}
> # curl -iL -X PUT
> "http://<NAMENODE_IP>:<PORT>/webhdfs/v1/user/admin/Test?op=MKDIRS&user.name=admin"{code}
> 2. Upload a file called /tmp/file1.txt:
> {code:java}
> # curl -iL -X PUT -T "/tmp/file1.txt"
> "http://<NAMENODE_IP>:<PORT>/webhdfs/v1/user/admin/Test/file1.txt?op=CREATE&user.name=admin"
> {code}
> 3. Now edit this file and then try uploading it back:
> {code}
> # curl -iL -X PUT -T "/tmp/file1.txt"
> "http://<NAMENODE_IP>:<PORT>/webhdfs/v1/user/admin/Test/file1.txt?op=CREATE&user.name=admin"
> {code}
> 4. We get the following error:
> {code:java}
> HTTP/1.1 100 Continue
> HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
> Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
> Content-Length: 1465
> Connection: close
> {"RemoteException":\{"exception":"FileAlreadyExistsException","javaClassName":"org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileAlreadyExistsException","message":"/user/admin/Test/file1.txt
