dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-988:
---------------------------------------
Code looks excellent. can we add a unit test that does the following:
* Create a cluster, open a file for write and and put in safemode. verify that
getAdditionalBlock, close etc fails when NN is in safemode
> 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
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: hdfs-988.txt, saveNamespace.txt

> 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.
