Virajith Jalaparti commented on HDFS-14889:
-------------------------------------------
[~ashvin] - can you add some context as to why this is needed? from the PR, it
looks like no one is calling the {{isProvided}} method.
> Ability to check if a block has a replica on provided storage

> Key: HDFS-14889
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14889
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Ashvin Agrawal
> Assignee: Ashvin Agrawal
> Priority: Major
>
> Provided storage (HDFS-9806) allows data on external storage systems to
> seamlessly appear as files on HDFS. However, in the implementation today,
> there is no easy way to distinguish a {{Block}} belonging to an external
> provided storage volume from a block belonging to the local cluster. This
> task simplifies this. This feature will be useful in hybrid scenarios when
> the local cluster will host both kinds of blocks.
