Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-8838: -------------------------------------- Any interest in this? It is a simple one for review :) > [WINDOWS] FileLink assumptions are broken under NTFS > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-8838 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8838 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Enis Soztutar > Assignee: Enis Soztutar > Fix For: 0.95.2 > > Attachments: hbase-8838_v1.patch > > > FileLink assumes that underlying files can be moved while there are open > readers. Windows does not allow the file which has active readers to be moved > unless the file is opened in shared mode. JDK6 and 7 open the file in > exclusive mode by default, so moving the file while there are readers is not > possible. > Hadoop-on-windows copies the file, if it cannot perform the rename. This will > cause duplication, and the original file not being deleted. > This affects the unit test TestFileLink. On local mode over NTFS, reading > from snapshot files and replication might cause issues, but I don't think it > has any other implications on hbase+hdfs on windows. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
