Issue with file_type showing as removed for deleted objects in changelist

[mukeshguptakc]

Hello,

We are working on fetching changelist entries between two snapshots using the Isilon SDK. While doing so, we noticed an issue:

When an object is returned as a removed entry, attempting to fetch its file_type reports the value as removed, rather than its original file type (e.g., file, directory, symlink, etc.).

This makes it difficult to determine what type of object was deleted, which is important for downstream processing.

Steps to Reproduce:

Create two snapshots with a file or directory present in the first snapshot but deleted in the second.

Fetch changelist entries between the two snapshots.

Retrieve the file_type of the removed entry.

Observed Behavior:

The file_type field shows as removed.

Expected Behavior:

The file_type should reflect the actual type of the object prior to deletion (e.g., file, dir), or at least provide a way to retrieve it.
"regular" -> for file
"directory" -> for directory

Attaching snippet for reference.

Thank You, let me have a look. It would be very helpful if you mention which version of SDK, and which onefs version you are trying

[mukeshguptakc]

Sure the details are as following:
isilon-sdk==0.6.0
import isilon_sdk.v9_7_0 as isi970
Cluster one-fs version: 9.7

api_instance = isi970.SnapshotChangelistsApi(isi970.ApiClient(self.ilib.configuration))

Fetch Change List using:
api_response = api_instance.get_changelist_entries(changelist_id)

We have confirmed this is the same behavior API is serving, and hence SDK is behaving the same. The defect is assigned to a component team who owns particular API. It will be avaibale as a fix in upcoming SDK release which will be 0.8.0
