Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-1071:
-------------------------------------------
It looks to me that with HDFS-903 in progress we should guarantee in this patch
that all images are identical. Otherwise MD5s of different images will not be
the same. So my be my suggestion of implementing this with one thread
traversing the namespace tree and other threads writing to the disk is more
relevant now.
> savenamespace should write the fsimage to all configured fs.name.dir in
> parallel

> If you have a large number of files in HDFS, the fsimage file is very big.
> When the namenode restarts, it writes a copy of the fsimage to all
> directories configured in fs.name.dir. This takes a long time, especially if
> there are many directories in fs.name.dir. Make the NN write the fsimage to
> all these directories in parallel.
