Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-4826:
-----------------------------------------
Should we have a version of stopping the namenode gracefully, which
automatically does the manual steps proposed in this change?
> Admin command saveNamespace.

> It would be useful to have an admin command that saves current namespace.
> This command can be used before regular (planned) cluster shutdown.
> The command will save the namespace into storage directory(s) and reset the
> name-node journal (edits file).
> It will also reduce name-node startup time, because edits do not need to be
> digest.
