------------------------------------------
Summary: Add method(s) which could test for the presence of an
HDFS filesystem without authentication
Key: HDFS-3674
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3674
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: hdfs client
Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
Priority: Minor
It would be nice to have a method or methods in the HDFS client that could test
for the presence of an HDFS filesystem without requiring authentication. For
example, in fuse_dfs, there is an option called -oinitchecks which tries to
test whether the configuration is correct by calling hdfsConnect immediately
after fuse starts. However, this doesn't really work with Kerberos, since root
is probably not kinit'ed.
