Shilun Fan updated HDFS-15701:
------------------------------
Target Version/s: 3.4.1 (was: 3.4.0)
> Add resolveMountPath API in FileSystem
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-15701
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-15701
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: fs, ViewHDFS
> Affects Versions: 3.4.0
> Reporter: Uma Maheswara Rao G
> Assignee: Uma Maheswara Rao G
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently FileSystem has an API resolvePath. To know where the path has
> mounted, the applications can use that API as the retuned path is from actual
> target path in the case of mount file systems like ViewFS,
> ViewFSOverloadScheme or ViewDistributedFileSystem.
> However, resolvePath does more than what is needed by Apps when they want to
> know where the path has mounted. It's because resolvePath internally calls
> "getFileStatus".
> This additional call is unnecessary when apps just want to where the path
> mounted.
> Since we have mounted filesystems available in FS, I think it's good to add
> resolveMountPath API, which will just do the following.
> If the fs is mounted fs, then it will resolve it's mount tables and return
> the actual target path. If the fs is non mounted, then it will simply return
> the same path.
> Currently Applications like Hive, Ranger using resolvePath API. ( this is
> forcing to do additional RPC internally)
