[jira] [Updated] (HDFS-10388) DistributedFileSystem#getStatus returns a misleading FsStatus

["Chris Douglas (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10388?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Chris Douglas updated HDFS-10388:
---------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid
        Status: Resolved  (was: Patch Available)

This appears to be working as designed, since HDFS doesn't support partitions. I'd expect this is also correct in RBF scenarios. [~elgoiri], do you want to check? [~linyiqun], please reopen if this remains an issue

> The method {{DistributedFileSystem#getStatus}} returns the dfs's disk status.
> {code}
>    public FsStatus getStatus(Path p) throws IOException {
>      statistics.incrementReadOps(1);
>     return dfs.getDiskStatus();
>    }
> {code}
> So the param path is no meaning here. And the object returned will mislead for users to use this method. I looked into the code, only when the file system has multiple partitions, the use and capacity of the partition pointed to by the specified path will be reflected. For example, in the subclass {{RawLocalFileSystem}}, it will be return correctly.
> We should return a new meaningless FsStatus here (like new FsStatus(0, 0, 0)) and indicate that the invoked method isn't available in {{DistributedFileSystem}}.
