Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-983:
----------------------------------

My only guess is that there's a null character in that string, and maybe one 
UTF8 mechanism is used to write it, and a different one to read it? TestUTF8 
shows that we have three different UTF8 mechanisms inside Hadoop or Java

> The SecondaryNamenode is unable to create checkpoints. The stack trace is

> occurances happened with unprintable characters in the filename. I am 
> wondering if there is an String-UTF8 encoding problem.
