dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-1630:
----------------------------------------

We can use PureJava CRC32. what are the pros-and-cons of computing a separate 
crc per transaction vs keeping a rolling crc but storing the latest accumulated 
crc at the end of each transaction?

> HDFS-903 calculates a MD5 checksum to a saved image, so that we could verify 
> the integrity of the image at the loading time.
> The other half of the story is how to verify fsedits. Similarly we could use 
> the checksum approach. But since a fsedit file is growing constantly, a 
> checksum per file does not work. I am thinking to add a checksum per 
> transaction. Is it doable or too expensive?
