Nigel Daley commented on HADOOP-227: ------------------------------------ +1 I've run sort, smalljobs, nnbench, and dfsio benchmarks with this patch. All pass. > Namespace check pointing is not performed until the namenode restarts. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-227 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-227 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Affects Versions: 0.2.0 > Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko > Assigned To: dhruba borthakur > Attachments: patch-async-checkpoints-0.9.0, > patch-async-checkpoints-0.9.0, patch-async-checkpoints-0.9.0, > periodiccheckpoint7.patch > > > In current implementation when the name node starts, it reads its image file, > then > the edits file, and then saves the updated image back into the image file. > The image file is never updated after that. > In order to provide the system reliability reliability the namespace > information should > be check pointed periodically, and the edits file should be kept relatively > small. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
