Jakob Homan created HDFS-7590: --------------------------------- Summary: Stabilize and document getBlockLocation API in WebHDFS Key: HDFS-7590 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7590 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: webhdfs Affects Versions: 2.6.0 Reporter: Jakob Homan
Currently the GET_BLOCK_LOCATIONS op is marked as private, unstable and is not documented in the WebHDFS web page. The getBlockLocations is a public, stable API on FileSystem. WebHDFS' GBL response is private-unstable because the API currently directly serializes out the LocatedBlocks instance and LocatedBlocks is private-unstable. A public-stable version of the response should be agreed upon and documented. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
