Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-1242: -------------------------------------- +1 for the code. Couple of notes: # Latest patch requires a "image" directory and "image/fsimage" at the name node. # The new files are not really "CORRUPT", they are in a specific format understood only by post Hadoop-12. Random data in those files will cause 13 to fail. > dfs upgrade/downgrade problems > ------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-1242 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1242 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: dfs > Affects Versions: 0.13.0 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assigned To: Konstantin Shvachko > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.13.0 > > Attachments: clean-upgrade.patch, failPreUpgradeVersion.patch, > failPreUpgradeVersion2.patch, failPreUpgradeVersion3.patch > > > I ran my test cluster on 0.13 and then tried to run it under 0.12.
