    Description

      Currently the GET_BLOCK_LOCATIONS op is marked as private, unstable and is not documented in the WebHDFS web page. The getBlockLocations is a public, stable API on FileSystem. WebHDFS' GBL response is private-unstable because the API currently directly serializes out the LocatedBlocks instance and LocatedBlocks is private-unstable.

      A public-stable version of the response should be agreed upon and documented.
