Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-988:
----------------------------------
HDFS-909's fixes cover two issues. One of the two is in 20, and other doesn't
appear to be. But we may as well just have one JIRA number. The patch to 20
will just be a subset of the changes from trunk - no sense in diverging fix
implementations.
> 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.
