Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-988:
----------------------------------
The failed test is unrelated (been failing all patch builds lately)
Can anyone suggest a unit test for this issue? I can't think of any to add
since functionality wasn't changed, we just cleaned up some potential races.
> 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
> Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.22.0
> Reporter: dhruba borthakur
> Assignee: Todd Lipcon

> 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.
