Colin Patrick McCabe updated HDFS-3004:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: HDFS-3004.019.patch
* remove obsolete references to JournalStream in comments
* rename resync to skipBrokenEdits
* rename -f to -chooseFirst
* fix EditLogInputStream comments
* ELIS::rewind -> ELIS::putOp
* FSEditLogLoader: fix a case where the numEdits return could be incorrect
* FSEditLogLoader: improve handling of missing transactions
* fix some cases in which we had been assuming that there are no gaps in the
transaction log stream. Try to avoid doing fancy arithmetic by counting the
number of edits we've decoded, etc. Instead, just rely on looking at the
transaction ID of the last edit we decoded.

> When the NameNode metadata is corrupt for some reason, we want to be able to
> fix it. Obviously, we would prefer never to get in this case. In a perfect
> world, we never would. However, bad data on disk can happen from time to
> time, because of hardware errors or misconfigurations. In the past we have
> had to correct it manually, which is time-consuming and which can result in
> downtime.
> Recovery mode is initialized by the system administrator. When the NameNode
> starts up in Recovery Mode, it will try to load the FSImage file, apply all
> the edits from the edits log, and then write out a new image. Then it will
> shut down.
> Unlike in the normal startup process, the recovery mode startup process will
> be interactive. When the NameNode finds something that is inconsistent, it
> will prompt the operator as to what it should do. The operator can also
> choose to take the first option for all prompts by starting up with the '-f'
> flag, or typing 'a' at one of the prompts.
> I have reused as much code as possible from the NameNode in this tool.
> Hopefully, the effort that was spent developing this will also make the
> NameNode editLog and image processing even more robust than it already is.
