Provide tool to view/change edits file
--------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-3717
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3717
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: dfs
Affects Versions: 0.19.0
Reporter: Lohit Vijayarenu
At present if edits file is corrupt namenode fails to start throwing
EOFException as seen this this jira HADOOP-820. One way out in such cases was
to remove offending entry from edits, but that is not straight forward as edits
is a binary file. So, workaround was to ignore EOFException and continue with
namenode startup. It would be good to have a tool to view edits entries or even
modify it to a recoverable state.
