Todd Lipcon updated HDFS-2001:
------------------------------

    Attachment: hdfs-2001.txt

This patch goes on top of HDFS-1991 and HDFS-1994.

It removes the previouscheckpoint/lastcheckpoint directories and updates 
TestDFSStorageStateRecovery to match that.

I currently commented out a couple of the test cases in TestSaveNamespace which 
need to still be updated and improved on this branch.

I also added a new test case for the scenario when the 2NN fails two 
checkpoints in a row. Previous to this patch, there was a bug with that 
situation, but this patch addresses it.

With this patch, I'm able to run a stress test with two 2NNs checkpointing as 
fast as they can for a while without issues. I'll let it loop for a few hours 
tonight.

> In the old design for edits/image storage, the secondary namenode does a 
> complicated dance of moving "current/" to "lastcheckpoint.tmp", checkpointing 
> into "current/", then moving "lastcheckpoint.tmp" back to 
> "previous.checkpoint". The idea here was so that there would always be one 
> directory with a valid set of storage files.
> In the HDFS-1073 design, this complicated dance isn't necessary. If a 
> checkpoint fails, we can just rm that single fsimage_N.ckpt file and still be 
> left with a valid storage directory.
> So, we can just let the 2NN keep a single current/ dir around for all 
> checkpoints and eliminate the complexity of the dance.
