[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-6537) Proposal for exceptions thrown by FileContext and Abstract File System

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6537?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Suresh Srinivas updated HADOOP-6537:
------------------------------------

    Attachment: hdfs-717.2.patch

New patch has the following changes:
# New exception UnsupportedFileSystemException is added. This is a separate exception because FileContext resolves URI to a FileSystem on the fly. Any FileContext operation could fail to resolve URI to a file sytem. This merits a separate exception.
# All the comments from Sanjay are addressed.

> FileContext#setVerifyChecksum - shouldn't it throw notSupportedException ? This is a subtle issue. For the convenience of testing one does not want the exception.
This is documentation change only (UnsupportedOperationException is unchecked). Will do it in a separate jira, along with other changes.

I have also covered some of the issues you have raised in HADOOP-6556.

> Currently the APIs in FileContext throw only IOException. Going forward these APIs will throw more specific exceptions.
> This jira proposes following hierarchy of exceptions to be thrown by FileContext and AFS (Abstract File System) classes.
> InterruptedException  (java.lang.InterruptedException)
> IOException
>                 /* Following exceptions extend IOException */
>                 FileNotFoundException
>                 FileAlreadyExistsException
>                 DirectoryNotEmptyException
>                 NotDirectoryException
>                 AccessDeniedException
>                 IsDirectoryException
>                 InvalidPathNameException
>                 
>                 FileSystemException
>                                      /* Following exceptions extend FileSystemException */
>                                      FileSystemNotReadyException
>                                      ReadOnlyFileSystemException
>                                      QuotaExceededException
>                                      OutOfSpaceException
>                 RemoteException   (java.rmi.RemoteException)
> Most of the IOExceptions above are caused by invalid user input, while FileSystemException is thrown when FS is in such a state that the requested operation cannot proceed.
> Please note that the proposed RemoteException is from standard java rmi package, which also extends IOException.
>                             
> HDFS throws many exceptions which are not in the above list. The DFSClient will unwrap the exceptions thrown by HDFS, and any exception not in the above list will be thrown as IOException or FileSystemException.
