> Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko
> Assignee: Raghu Angadi

> Fix For: 0.18.0

> # The generation stamp upgrade renames blocks' meta-files so that the name
> contains the block generation stamp as stated in HADOOP-2656.
> If a data-node has blocks that do not belong to any files and the name-node
> asks the data-node to remove those blocks
> during or before the upgrade started the data-node will remove the blocks but
> not the meta-files because their names
> are still in the old format which is not recognized by the new code. So we
> can end up with a number of garbage files which
> will be hard to recognize that they are unused and the system will never
> remove them automatically.
> I think this should be handled by the upgrade code in the end, but may be it
> will be right to fix HADOOP-3002 for the 0.18 release,
> which will avoid scheduling block removal when the name-node is in safe-mode.
> # I was not able to get the upgrade -force option to work. This option lets
> the name-node proceed with a distributed upgrade even if
> the data-nodes are not able to complete their local upgrades. Did we test
> this feature at all for the generation stamp upgrade?
