FileStatus should have a field "isUnderConstruction" ----------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-878 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-878 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: Zheng Shao Assignee: Zheng Shao Currently DFSClient has no way to know whether a file is under construction or not, unless we open the file and get locatedBlocks (which is much more costly). However, the namenode knows whether each INode is under construction or not. We should expose that information from NameNode.getListing(), to DFSClient.listPaths(), to DistributedFileSystem.listStatus(). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
