Surendra Singh Lilhore commented on HDFS-9089:
----------------------------------------------
bq. Why ".system" is better than "system"? The same argument applies – what if
users want to create ".system"?
We thought , user will not create directory like "{{.system}}" :)
> Balancer and Mover should use ".system" as reserved inode name instead of
> "system"

> Currently Balancer and Mover create "/system" for placing mover.id and
> balancer.id
> hdfs dfs -ls /
> drwxr-xr-x - root hadoop 0 2015-09-16 12:49
> {color:red}/system{color}
> This folder created in not deleted once mover or balancer work is completed
> So user cannot create dir "system" .
> Its better to make ".system" as reserved inode for balancer and mover instead
> of "system".
