Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-1630:
--------------------------------------
bq. When reading old versions of fsedits that do not support checksum.
Sorry - I didn't realize you only conditionally create the checksum. Looks good
to me.

> 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?
