public class FileContext
extends Object
implements org.apache.hadoop.fs.PathCapabilities

The FileContext class provides an interface for users of the Hadoop file system. It exposes a number of file system operations, e.g. create, open, list.

Path Names

The Hadoop file system supports a URI namespace and URI names. This enables multiple types of file systems to be referenced using fully-qualified URIs. Two common Hadoop file system implementations are

• the local file system: file:///path
• the HDFS file system: hdfs://nnAddress:nnPort/path

The Hadoop file system also supports additional naming schemes besides URIs. Hadoop has the concept of a default file system, which implies a default URI scheme and authority. This enables slash-relative names relative to the default FS, which are more convenient for users and application writers. The default FS is typically set by the user's environment, though it can also be manually specified.

Hadoop also supports working-directory-relative names, which are paths relative to the current working directory (similar to Unix). The working directory can be in a different file system than the default FS.

Thus, Hadoop path names can be specified as one of the following:

• a fully-qualified URI: scheme://authority/path (e.g. hdfs://nnAddress:nnPort/foo/bar)
• a slash-relative name: path relative to the default file system (e.g. /foo/bar)
• a working-directory-relative name: path relative to the working dir (e.g. foo/bar)

Relative paths with scheme (scheme:foo/bar) are illegal.

Role of FileContext and Configuration Defaults

The FileContext is the analogue of per-process file-related state in Unix. It contains two properties:

• the default file system (for resolving slash-relative names)
• the umask (for file permissions)

In general, these properties are obtained from the default configuration file in the user's environment (see Configuration). Further file system properties are specified on the server-side. File system operations default to using these server-side defaults unless otherwise specified.

The file system related server-side defaults are:

• the home directory (default is "/user/userName")
• the initial wd (only for local fs)
• replication factor
• block size
• buffer size
• encryptDataTransfer
• checksum option. (checksumType and bytesPerChecksum)

Example Usage

Example 1: use the default config read from the $HADOOP_CONFIG/core.xml. Unspecified values come from core-defaults.xml in the release jar.

• myFContext = FileContext.getFileContext(); // uses the default config // which has your default FS
• myFContext.create(path, ...);
• myFContext.setWorkingDir(path);
• myFContext.open (path, ...);
• ...

Example 2: Get a FileContext with a specific URI as the default FS

• myFContext = FileContext.getFileContext(URI);
• myFContext.create(path, ...);
• ...

Example 3: FileContext with local file system as the default

• myFContext = FileContext.getLocalFSFileContext();
• myFContext.create(path, ...);
• ...

Example 4: Use a specific config, ignoring $HADOOP_CONFIG Generally you should not need use a config unless you are doing

• configX = someConfigSomeOnePassedToYou;
• myFContext = getFileContext(configX); // configX is not changed, // is passed down
• myFContext.create(path, ...);
• ...

Note this is different from Unix where the wd is actually set to the inode. Hence setWorkingDir does not follow symlinks etc. This works better in a distributed environment that has multiple independent roots. getWorkingDirectory() should return what setWorkingDir() set.

Parameters:

newWDir - new working directory

Throws:

IOException -
NewWdir can be one of:

• relative path: "foo/bar";
• absolute without scheme: "/foo/bar"
• fully qualified with scheme: "xx://auth/foo/bar"

Renames Path src to Path dst

• Fails if src is a file and dst is a directory.
• Fails if src is a directory and dst is a file.
• Fails if the parent of dst does not exist or is a file.

If OVERWRITE option is not passed as an argument, rename fails if the dst already exists.

If OVERWRITE option is passed as an argument, rename overwrites the dst if it is a file or an empty directory. Rename fails if dst is a non-empty directory.

Note that atomicity of rename is dependent on the file system implementation. Please refer to the file system documentation for details

Parameters:

src - path to be renamed

dst - new path after rename

createSymlink

                          UnsupportedFileSystemException,
                          IOException

Creates a symbolic link to an existing file. An exception is thrown if the symlink exits, the user does not have permission to create symlink, or the underlying file system does not support symlinks. Symlink permissions are ignored, access to a symlink is determined by the permissions of the symlink target. Symlinks in paths leading up to the final path component are resolved transparently. If the final path component refers to a symlink some functions operate on the symlink itself, these are: - delete(f) and deleteOnExit(f) - Deletes the symlink. - rename(src, dst) - If src refers to a symlink, the symlink is renamed. If dst refers to a symlink, the symlink is over-written. - getLinkTarget(f) - Returns the target of the symlink. - getFileLinkStatus(f) - Returns a FileStatus object describing the symlink. Some functions, create() and mkdir(), expect the final path component does not exist. If they are given a path that refers to a symlink that does exist they behave as if the path referred to an existing file or directory. All other functions fully resolve, ie follow, the symlink. These are: open, setReplication, setOwner, setTimes, setWorkingDirectory, setPermission, getFileChecksum, setVerifyChecksum, getFileBlockLocations, getFsStatus, getFileStatus, exists, and listStatus. Symlink targets are stored as given to createSymlink, assuming the underlying file system is capable of storing a fully qualified URI. Dangling symlinks are permitted. FileContext supports four types of symlink targets, and resolves them as follows

 Given a path referring to a symlink of form:
 
    <---X --->
   fs://host/A/B/link 
    <-----Y ----->
 
 In this path X is the scheme and authority that identify the file system,
 and Y is the path leading up to the final path component "link". If Y is
 a symlink  itself then let Y' be the target of Y and X' be the scheme and
 authority of Y'. Symlink targets may:
 
 1. Fully qualified URIs
 
 fs://hostX/A/B/file  Resolved according to the target file system.
 
 2. Partially qualified URIs (eg scheme but no host)
 
 fs:///A/B/file  Resolved according to the target file system. Eg resolving
                 a symlink to hdfs:///A results in an exception because
                 HDFS URIs must be fully qualified, while a symlink to 
                 file:///A will not since Hadoop's local file systems 
                 require partially qualified URIs.
 
 3. Relative paths
 
 path  Resolves to [Y'][path]. Eg if Y resolves to hdfs://host/A and path 
       is "../B/file" then [Y'][path] is hdfs://host/B/file
 
 4. Absolute paths
 
 path  Resolves to [X'][path]. Eg if Y resolves hdfs://host/A/B and path
       is "/file" then [X][path] is hdfs://host/file
 

Parameters:

target - the target of the symbolic link

link - the path to be created that points to target

createParent - if true then missing parent dirs are created if false then parent must exist

Throws:

AccessControlException - If access is denied

FileAlreadyExistsException - If file link already exists

FileNotFoundException - If target does not exist

ParentNotDirectoryException - If parent of link is not a directory.

UnsupportedFileSystemException - If file system for target or link is not supported

IOException - If an I/O error occurred

Open a file for reading through a builder API. Ultimately calls open(Path, int) unless a subclass executes the open command differently. The semantics of this call are therefore the same as that of open(Path, int) with one special point: it is in FSDataInputStreamBuilder.build() in which the open operation takes place -it is there where all preconditions to the operation are checked.

Parameters:

path - file path

Returns:

a FSDataInputStreamBuilder object to build the input stream

Throws:

IOException - if some early checks cause IO failures.

UnsupportedOperationException - if support is checked early.

Return the path capabilities of the bonded AbstractFileSystem.

Specified by:

hasPathCapability in interface org.apache.hadoop.fs.PathCapabilities

Parameters:

path - path to query the capability of.

capability - string to query the stream support for.

Returns:

true iff the capability is supported under that FS.

Throws:

IOException - path resolution or other IO failure

IllegalArgumentException - invalid arguments
