Hi Devs Currently the HMaster initilization deletes the files under .tmp using the HFileArchiver. in HMaster().new MasterFileSystem().createInitialFileSystemLayout().
Actually i was thinking of using this info in the .tmp directory for the tables that were partially created so that on master restart i can use this info to recreate the table fully. But i found that we are deleting this .tmp directory. My question here is will it be ok to delete the .tmp directory after the this.assignmentManager.joinCluster(), call in HMaster.finishInitialization? Because by this time i would be knowing what are the partially created tables. Just wanted to confirm before i can make this change? My worry was, may be snapshot is trying to utilize this info and doing something. Regards Ram
