> saveNamespace can corrupt edits log
> -----------------------------------

> Key: HDFS-988
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-988
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug

> 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.
