Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-6634:
--------------------------------------------
Hi [~bperroud],
HDFS-7446 changed the INotify API to return {{EventBatch}} rather than
individual events. The reason was because we were unable to resume the event
stream from a particular point in time with the original API. Basically, this
is the same issue you identified. Unfortunately, this change was too late for
Hadoop 2.6, but it will be in the soon-to-be-released Hadoop 2.7.
Additionally, HDFS-7929 fixed a bug where HDFS upgrades would make some events
unavailable to clients.
