> In HDFS-14617 I incorrectly stated that a fsimage with sub-sections listed in 
> the image summary section could be loaded without the HDFS-14617 patch 
> applied. However that was not correct. If the cluster was upgraded to a 
> version containing this feature, then upon downgrade the image will fail to 
> load.
> I believe the simplest solution to this problem is to have this feature 
> disabled by default. That way, after upgrading to a version with the feature, 
> the operator can make a decision to enable the feature. If they later want to 
> downgrade, then they must:
>  # Disable the feature
>  # Save the namespace, which will create an image without sub-sections
>  # Perform the downgrade.
> Even though the steps to downgrade are simple, we cannot expect people to be 
> aware of this, and hence it is safest to disable the feature by default.
> The only alternative is to create a new image layout version, but that seems 
> excessive for this feature, as the core contents of the image have not 
> changed and the sub-sections can be removed by disabling the feature and 
> saving the namespace.
