Zhe Zhang created HDFS-8077: ------------------------------- Summary: Erasure coding: fix bug in EC zone and symlinks Key: HDFS-8077 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8077 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Zhe Zhang Assignee: Zhe Zhang
EC zone manager tries to get XAttr of an inode to determine the EC policy, which doesn't work with symlinks. This patch has a simple fix to get rid of test failures. Ideally we should also add logic to disallow creating symlinks in several EC-related scenarios. But since symlinks are disabled in branch-2 and will likely be disabled in trunk, this step is skipped now. The patch also fixes a small test error around {{getBlockReplication}} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
