Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-5872: -------------------------------------- +1. This seems like a very useful feature for admins. > HDFS quotas should be settable on a "over full" directory > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5872 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5872 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: eric baldeschwieler > > Right now a quota can only be set on disk space or file name space if the > quota is greater than the current amount in use by the directory on which the > quota is being set. It should be possible to set a quota less than the > current amount used. The expected result is that no more files will be > creatable in that directory until files are removed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
