Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-7056:
-------------------------------------------
> Why not just doing a linear scan in the diff list after the given snapshot id?
Jing, can you give an example of linear scan in existing code to clarify your
point.
I'll address the rest in a bit.
> Snapshot support for truncate

> Implementation of truncate in HDFS-3107 does not allow truncating files which
> are in a snapshot. It is desirable to be able to truncate and still keep the
> old file state of the file in the snapshot.
