Summary: RBF: Add API to expose resolved destinations (namespace)
in Router
Key: HDFS-15599
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-15599
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Fengnan Li
Assignee: Fengnan Li
We have seen quite often requests like where a path in Router is actually
pointed. Two main use cases are:
1) Calculate the HDFS capacity usage allocation of all Hive tables, whose have
onboarded to Router.
2) A failure prevention method for cross-cluster rename. First check the source
HDFS location and dest HDFS location, and then issue a distcp cmd if possible
to avoid the Exception.
Inside Router, the function getLocationsForPath does the work but it is
internal only and not visible to Clients.
RouterAdmin has getMountTableEntries but this is a cast of Mount table without
any resolving.
We are proposing adding such an API, and there are two ways:
1) Adding this API in RouterRpcServer, which requires the change in
ClientNameNodeProtocol to include this new API.
2) Adding this API in RouterAdminServer, which requires the a protocol between
Client and the admin server.
There is one existing resolvePath in FileSystem which can be used to implement
this call from client side.
