Manoj Govindassamy commented on HDFS-12544:
-------------------------------------------
[~yzhangal],
1. Yes, just like the files moved out of the scope directory are showing as
"Deleted", the files moved in under a scope directory as part of renames will
show as "Added".
2. The newly created directory/files are available in the current version. So,
even these newly created dirs can be requested for the scope diff. Its just
that they are not part of any older snapshots so we will get empty diff list.
Will post a new patch revision with tests updated to cover above cases. Thanks.

> Using snapshot diff command, we can generate a diff report between any two
> given snapshots under a snapshot root directory. The command today only
> accepts the path that is a snapshot root. There are many deployments where
> the snapshot root is configured at the higher level directory but the diff
> report needed is only for a specific directory under the snapshot root. In
> these cases, the diff report can be filtered for changes pertaining to the
> directory we are interested in. But when the snapshot root directory is very
> huge, the snapshot diff report generation can take minutes even if we are
> interested to know the changes only in a small directory. So, it would be
> highly performant if the diff report calculation can be limited to only the
> interesting sub-directory of the snapshot root instead of the whole snapshot
> root.
