Colin Patrick McCabe updated HDFS-3510: --------------------------------------- Status: Patch Available (was: Open) > Some FSEditLog pre-allocation problems in branch-1 > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3510 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3510 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe > Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > Attachments: HDFS-3510-b1.001.patch > > > In the FSEditLog, we want to avoid running out of space in the middle of > writing an edit log operation to the disk. We do this by a process called > "preallocation"-- reserving space on the disk for the upcoming edit log > entries before beginning to write them. > branch-1 has some major problems with the way it does preallocation. These > problems can lead to corrupt edit logs when the disk runs out of space during > an edit log sync operation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
