Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-3516:
----------------------------------------------
For errors, the Java library sends the error message using error stream. So
using error stream works well in practice. Also, this is implementation
details and not to do with the WebHDFS API spec. (I guess you mean WebHDFS spec
by docs. Or do you mean Java API doc?)
I think it does not make sense to fall back to input stream (I believe you mean
input stream by output stream) since the error messages won't be there. Say,
there is funny bug that the op expects 307 TEMPORARY_REDIRECT but the server
returns 200 OK with a JSON or HTML response. Then, it does not make sense to
print out the response from input steam as error message.

> WebHdfsFileSystem currently tries to parse the response as json. It may be a
> good idea to check the content-type before parsing it.
