[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-14872) CryptoInputStream should implement unbuffer

["Xiao Chen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14872?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16170706#comment-16170706 ] 

Xiao Chen commented on HADOOP-14872:
------------------------------------

Thanks John for reporting and fixing this! Looks pretty good overall.

Comments:
- whitespace as reported by pre-commit
- {{CryptoStreamsTestBase#readCheck}} already closes the stream, so not sure what the explicit close test adds. This exists in other tests too there though.
- Could you add a dummy hadoop-hdfs change in the next patch, so we also trigger pre-commits to run hadoop-hdfs? Currently it only runs hadoop-common, let's run both to be safe. :)

> Discovered in IMPALA-5909.
> Opening an encrypted HDFS file returns a chain of wrapped input streams:
> {noformat}
> HdfsDataInputStream
>   CryptoInputStream
>     DFSInputStream
> {noformat}
> If an application such as Impala or HBase calls HdfsDataInputStream#unbuffer, FSDataInputStream#unbuffer will be called:
> {code:java}
>     try {
>       ((CanUnbuffer)in).unbuffer();
>     } catch (ClassCastException e) {
>       throw new UnsupportedOperationException("this stream does not " +
>           "support unbuffering.");
>     }
> {code}
> If the {{in}} class does not implement CanUnbuffer, UOE will be thrown. If the application is not careful, tons of UOEs will show up in logs.
> In comparison, opening an non-encrypted HDFS file returns this chain:
> {noformat}
> HdfsDataInputStream
>   DFSInputStream
> {noformat}
> DFSInputStream implements CanUnbuffer.
> It is good for CryptoInputStream to implement CanUnbuffer for 2 reasons:
> * Release buffer, cache, or any other resource when instructed
> * Able to call its wrapped DFSInputStream unbuffer
> * Avoid the UOE described above. Applications may not handle the UOE very well.
