saveNamespace can corrupt edits log ----------------------------------- Key: HDFS-988 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-988 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: name-node Reporter: dhruba borthakur
The adminstrator puts the namenode is safemode and then issues the savenamespace command. This can corrupt the edits log. The problem is that when the NN enters safemode, there could still be pending logSycs occuring from other threads. Now, the saveNamespace command, when executed, would save a edits log with partial writes. I have seen this happen on 0.20. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-909?focusedCommentId=12828853&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12828853 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
