Stephen O'Donnell commented on HDFS-15830:
------------------------------------------

[~ferhui] Thanks for alerting me. Just so I understand, is the use case:

1. The NN is started with dfs.image.parallel.load = false
2. You want to enable the feature without restarting the NN, so make it 
reconfigurable, the further checkpoints will have parallel images.

If something unexpected happens, we have to load old image to restart namenode.

What "unexpected" things can happen here? I would like to understand if you are 
seeing any problems with the parallel loading feature.

Making the option reconfigurable does seem like a good improvement - I will try 
to review the change in the next day or two.
