Method Details

createLockFile

public static void createLockFile(FileSystem fs,
 Path lockFile,
 boolean accept)
                           throws IOException

Create a lock file.

Parameters:

fs - filesystem

lockFile - name of the lock file

accept - if true, and the target file exists, consider it valid. If false and the target file exists, throw an IOException.

Throws:

IOException - if accept is false, and the target file already exists, or if it's a directory.

createLockFile

public static void createLockFile(Configuration conf,
 Path lockFile,
 boolean accept)
                           throws IOException

Create a lock file.

Parameters:

conf - configuration to find the FileSystem lockFile belongs to

lockFile - name of the lock file

accept - if true, and the target file exists, consider it valid. If false and the target file exists, throw an IOException.

Throws:

IOException - if accept is false, and the target file already exists, or if it's a directory.

removeLockFile

public static boolean removeLockFile(FileSystem fs,
 Path lockFile)
                              throws IOException

Parameters:

fs - filesystem

lockFile - lock file name

Returns:

false, if the lock file doesn't exist. True, if it existed and was successfully removed.

Throws:

IOException - if lock file exists but it is a directory.
