From c1b0aa66117981d062699e67fe9c05ca51bbf32c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: chrislu Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2025 01:03:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] feat: implement virtual position tracking in SeaweedOutputStream MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Added virtualPosition field to track total bytes written including buffered data. Updated getPos() to return virtualPosition instead of position + buffer.position(). RESULT: - getPos() now always returns accurate total (1260 bytes) ✓ - File size metadata is correct (1260 bytes) ✓ - EOF exception STILL PERSISTS ❌ ROOT CAUSE (deeper analysis): Parquet calls getPos() → gets 1252 → STORES this value Then writes 8 more bytes (footer metadata) Then writes footer containing the stored offset (1252) Result: Footer has stale offsets, even though getPos() is correct THE FIX DOESN'T WORK because Parquet uses getPos() return value IMMEDIATELY, not at close time. Virtual position tracking alone can't solve this. NEXT: Implement flush-on-getPos() to ensure offsets are always accurate. --- .../seaweedfs/client/SeaweedOutputStream.java | 69 ++++---- .../java/spark/VIRTUAL_POSITION_FIX_STATUS.md | 164 ++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 202 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) create mode 100644 test/java/spark/VIRTUAL_POSITION_FIX_STATUS.md diff --git a/other/java/client/src/main/java/seaweedfs/client/SeaweedOutputStream.java b/other/java/client/src/main/java/seaweedfs/client/SeaweedOutputStream.java index 1164f39e1..fc59f3c0d 100644 --- a/other/java/client/src/main/java/seaweedfs/client/SeaweedOutputStream.java +++ b/other/java/client/src/main/java/seaweedfs/client/SeaweedOutputStream.java @@ -25,7 +25,8 @@ public class SeaweedOutputStream extends OutputStream { private final ConcurrentLinkedDeque writeOperations;
