Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-334:
-------------------------------------


Why would we have to deal with multiple edit entries in this case? I thought 
the following operation would be done under globalLock:

at the end of checkpointing we : close the new image file, remove (or move) old 
image file and old edit logs.

This is just for my understanding.. I know Milind is working on different 
proposal.
