DFSClient.getBlockLocations returns BlockLocations with no indication that the corresponding blocks are corrupt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1483 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1483 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Patrick Kling When there are no uncorrupted replicas of a block, FSNamesystem.getBlockLocations returns LocatedBlocks corresponding to corrupt blocks. When DFSClient converts these to BlockLocations, the information that the corresponding block is corrupt is lost. We should add a field to BlockLocation to indicate whether the corresponding block is corrupt in order to warn the client that reading this block will fail. This would be especially useful for tools such as RAID FSCK, which could then easily inspect whether data or parity blocks are corrupted without having to make direct RPC calls. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
