Laurent Goujon created HADOOP-10297: ---------------------------------------
Summary: FileChecksum should provide getChecksumOpt method Key: HADOOP-10297 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10297 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Laurent Goujon o.a.h.f.FileSystem has several methods which accepts directly or indirectly a ChecksumOpt parameter to configure checksum options, but there's no generic way of querying checksum options used for a given file. MD5MD5CRC32FileChecksum used by DFSClient has a getChecksumOpt() but since not just DistributedFileSystem is accepting a ChecksumOpt argument, but any FileSystem subclass (although only DistributedFileSystem implements a specific behaviour), I suggest to make getChecksumOpt an abstract method of FileChecksum. This could be used by tools like DistCp to replicate checksum options for example. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
