Li Junjun commented on HDFS-404:
--------------------------------
I think there are two situations.
1,the file has been swapped with another file,we check the blockId,that's
correct we throw Exceptions!
2,but if the file has not been swapped but being appending,we should just
check the blockId ,and should not care about the block's stamp , because in
fact we got the right and updated block list , cause file in hdfs can't be
truncate .
so how about we do it like this ?
if ( oldIter.next().getBlock().getBlockId() !=
newIter.next().getBlock().getBlockId() ) {
throw new IOException("Blocklist for " + src + " has changed!");
}
> Why open method in class DFSClient would compare old LocatedBlocks and new
> LocatedBlocks?
