--------------------------------------
@Hairong -yes, separate issues make sense. This one is something the 2NN needs.

> 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?
