[jira] [Commented] (HDFS-4874) create with OVERWRITE deletes existing file without checking the lease: feature or a bug.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4874?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13674059#comment-13674059 ] 

Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-4874:
---------------------------------------

I think the current behavior is the right one. Overwrite flag indicates that if a file already exists, it needs to be overwritten, irrespective of if a file is in complete state or being written state.

My vote would be to close this as "Not a problem".

> create with OVERWRITE flag will remove a file under construction even if the issuing client does not hold a lease on the file.
> It could be a bug or the feature that applications rely upon.
