Robert Chansler resolved HADOOP-3631. ------------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix Seems to no longer be a problem. In any case, no work is contemplated. > Transfer of image from secondary name node should not interrupt service > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-3631 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3631 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: dfs > Affects Versions: 0.17.0 > Reporter: Robert Chansler > Priority: Critical > > The transfer of the new image prepared by the secondary name node can > interfere with client services. Clients observe delays in completing RPCs. In > general, administrative activities should not be observed by the clients. For > large clusters, administrators are reluctant to run the secondary name node > leading to excessive edit logs. (Excessive in the sense that if the cluster > must be restarted, a long time is required to process the log.) > Maybe the new image does not have to be transfered; it could be fetched when > needed. > Maybe the priority of the transfer task can be reduced so that the transfer > is not observed. > Maybe a different transfer protocol is more appropriate. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
