Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-14307: ---------------------------------------- In many places we use IOUtils.readFully API which in turn will use loop. I dont think there is some reason why we should not use that here as well. > Incorrect use of positional read api in HFileBlock > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-14307 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14307 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Shradha Revankar > Priority: Minor > > Considering that {{read()}} is not guaranteed to read all bytes, > I'm interested to understand this particular piece of code and why is partial > read treated as an error : > https://github.com/apache/hbase/blob/master/hbase-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/io/hfile/HFileBlock.java#L1446-L1450 > Particularly, if hbase were to use a different filesystem, say > WebhdfsFileSystem, this would not work, please also see > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8943 for discussion around this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
