Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1112:
-----------------------------------
I think so... it's just sort of strange semantics to say that access times are
enabled but don't get updated if the NN is in safe mode. It's almost as if
safemode should be called "recovery mode" or "readonly mode" where these ideas
would be more explicit.
> Edit log buffer should not grow unboundedly

> Key: HDFS-1112
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1112
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: name-node
> Affects Versions: 0.22.0
> Reporter: Hairong Kuang
> Fix For: 0.22.0
>
>
> Currently HDFS does not impose an upper limit on the edit log buffer. In case
> there are a large number of open operations coming in with access time update
> on, since open does not call sync automatically, there is a possibility that
> the buffer grow to a large size, therefore causes memory leak and full GC in
> extreme cases as described in HDFS-1104.
> The edit log buffer should be automatically flushed when the buffer becomes
> full.
