----------------------------
Summary: Add xattr.names parameter for WebHDFS getXAttrs.
Key: HDFS-6464
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6464
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Bug
Components: webhdfs
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Yi Liu
Assignee: Yi Liu
Fix For: 3.0.0
For WebHDFS getXAttrs through names, right now the entire list is passed to the
client side and then filtered, which is not the best choice since it's
inefficient and precludes us from doing server-side smarts on par with the Java
APIs.
Furthermore, if some xattrs doesn't exist, server side should return error.
