Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-3521: ---------------------------------------------- > Ok. Since I noticed that there are a bunch of people watching this JIRA, but > nobody watching HDFS-3540 (yet?), I hope you don't mind if I repost this > comment twice. I do apologize for the potential inbox spam. HDFS-3540 just has be created. If people are interested in the further discussion, they will watch it. If they don't watch the new JIRA and they are not very interested in it, we cannot force them. I indeed mind if anyone keeps posting the same comment on two different JIRAs. > ... I do not think any people like that exist! As mentioned by Suresh, edit log toleration is a very useful. > Allow namenode to tolerate edit log corruption > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3521 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3521 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: name-node > Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Assignee: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Fix For: 1.2.0 > > Attachments: h3521_20120610_b-1.patch, h3521_20120611_b-1.0.patch, > h3521_20120611_b-1.patch > > > HDFS-3479 adds checking for edit log corruption.
