Steve Loughran commented on HDFS-580:
-------------------------------------
Maybe the NN should do a health check by trying to write and then read a file
before declaring itself live
> Name node will exit safe mode w/0 blocks even if data nodes are broken

> Key: HDFS-580
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-580
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Allen Wittenauer
>
> If one brings up a freshly formatted name node against older data nodes with
> an incompatible storage id (such that the datanodes fail with Directory
> /mnt/u001/dfs-data is in an inconsistent state: is incompatible with
> others.), the name node will still come out of safe mode. Writes will
> partially succeed--entries are created, but all are zero length.
