This can corrupt the edits log. The problem is that > when the NN enters safemode, there could still be pending logSycs occuring > from other threads. Now, the saveNamespace command, when executed, would save > a edits log with partial writes. I have seen this happen on 0.20. > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-909?focusedCommentId=12828853&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12828853 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
