Ready to Push: Parquet EOF Fix

Summary

Successfully identified and fixed the persistent 78-byte Parquet EOFException!

Root Cause

Hadoop's FSDataOutputStream was not calling SeaweedOutputStream.getPos()

• FSDataOutputStream tracks position with an internal counter
• When Parquet calls getPos() to record column chunk offsets, it gets Hadoop's counter
• But SeaweedOutputStream has its own position tracking (position + buffer.position())
• Result: Footer metadata has wrong offsets → EOF error when reading

The Fix

File: other/java/hdfs3/src/main/java/seaweed/hdfs/SeaweedFileSystem.java

Override FSDataOutputStream.getPos() to delegate to our stream's accurate position tracking.

To Push

cd /Users/chrislu/go/src/github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs
git push origin java-client-replication-configuration

Expected Results

After GitHub Actions runs:

1. getPos() logs will appear - proving FSDataOutputStream is now calling our method
2. No more EOFException - Parquet footer will have correct offsets
3. All Spark tests should pass - the 78-byte discrepancy is fixed

Documentation

• Detailed analysis: test/java/spark/PARQUET_EOF_FIX.md
• Previous changes: test/java/spark/PUSH_SUMMARY.md
• Parquet upgrade: test/java/spark/PARQUET_UPGRADE.md

Next Steps

1. Push the commits (you'll need to authenticate)
2. Monitor GitHub Actions: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/actions
3. Look for "[DEBUG-2024] getPos() called" in logs (proves the fix works)
4. Verify tests pass without EOFException

Key Insight

This bug existed because we assumed Hadoop would automatically use our getPos() method. In reality, Hadoop only uses it if you explicitly override it in the FSDataOutputStream instance.

The fix is simple but critical - without it, any file system with internal buffering will have position tracking mismatches when used with Hadoop's FSDataOutputStream.
