--------------------------------------
Moved this to a top-level issue, since it's not specific to HA.
> Pre-allocate HDFS edit log files after writing version number

> Key: HDFS-2759
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2759
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ha, name-node
> Affects Versions: HA branch (HDFS-1623)
> Reporter: Aaron T. Myers
> Assignee: Aaron T. Myers
>
> In HDFS-2709 it was discovered that there's a potential race wherein edits
> log files are pre-allocated before the version number is written into the
> header of the file. This can cause the NameNode to read an invalid HDFS
> layout version, and hence fail to read the edit log file. We should write the
> header, then pre-allocate the rest of the file after this point.
