> Provide logical BlockLocations for EC files for better split calculation

>                 Key: HDFS-12534
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12534
>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: erasure-coding
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-beta1
>            Reporter: Andrew Wang
>              Labels: hdfs-ec-3.0-must-do
>
> I talked to [~vanzin] and [~alex.behm] some more about split calculation with 
> EC. It turns out HDFS-12222 was resolved prematurely. Applications depend on 
> HDFS BlockLocation to understand where the split points are. The current 
> scheme of returning one BlockLocation per block group loses this information.
> We should change this to provide logical blocks. Divide the file length by 
> the block size and provide suitable BlockLocations to match, with virtual 
> offsets and lengths too.
> I'm not marking this as incompatible, since changing it this way would in 
> fact make it more compatible from the perspective of applications that are 
> scheduling against replicated files. Thus, it'd be good for beta1 if 
> possible, but okay for later too.
