[jira] [Resolved] (HBASE-7303) Quit using reflection for the method DFSOutputStream#getNumCurrentReplicas(…)

["Harsh J (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7303?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Harsh J resolved HBASE-7303.
----------------------------

    Resolution: Later

Actually, nevermind. I mistook that we may be dropping 1.x support soon due to reading some text wrongly. Also, 1.x and 2.x have split class differences for the output stream.

We can continue to keep this for now, and remove when we formally drop 1.x support (I wish this comes very soon, HBase has too much code cruft w.r.t. HDFS versions).

> Given that we've raised our minimum version guarantee for HBase with 1.x carrying the 0.20-append code finally, and all subsequent releases (0.21*, 0.22, 0.23 and 2) have this method available in them, I don't see a reason to have the reflection based getNumCurrentReplicas invocation (via HDFS-826) anymore.
> We could save ourselves quite a bit of perf. penalty by removing this check and simply calling the method directly, as its API has not changed across releases.
