Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-432: -------------------------------------- +1 This patch looks good. Two comments: 1. It would be more user-friendly if an "undelete" command is provided in FSShell. 2. Currently the checkpointing frequency is the same as the expunging frequency. I feel that it might be better if we checkpoint more frequently than we expunge. This makes sense especially when we provide the "expunge" command. It allows a user to expunge some checkpoints in between two system-initated expungings. > support undelete, snapshots, or other mechanism to recover lost files > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-432 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-432 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: dfs > Reporter: Yoram Arnon > Assigned To: Doug Cutting > Fix For: 0.12.0 > > Attachments: trash.patch, trash2.patch, trash3.patch, > undelete12.patch, undelete16.patch, undelete17.patch > > > currently, once you delete a file it's gone forever. > most file systems allow some form of recovery of deleted files. > a simple solution would be an 'undelete' command. > a more comprehensive solution would include snapshots, manual and automatic, > with scheduling options. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
