Improve DiskChecker javadocs ---------------------------- Key: HADOOP-7855 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7855 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: util Reporter: Eli Collins Fix For: 0.24.0
The javadocs for DiskChecker#checkDir(File dir) trail off, look like they weren't completed, should be. While checkDir(File) uses java File to check if a dir actually is writable, the version of checkDir that takes an FsPermission uses FsAction#implies which doesn't actually check if a dir is writable (eg it passes on a read-only file system). So switching from one version to the other can cause unexpected bugs. Let's call this out explicitly in the javadocs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
