Eli Collins commented on HDFS-2802: ----------------------------------- Hey Suresh, This isn't the one and only discussion on snapshots, a lot of us plan to attend the following one as well. It's OK to have multiple discussions. A bunch of people are going to be around and discussing things on Thursday anyway, so I thought it better to open up the discussion to more people in the community. I'm sorry that you'll be out of town, I've setup a dial in and would love it if you and others that are out could attend. I'll post minutes here so that people who can not attend can see and participate. > Support for RW/RO snapshots in HDFS > ----------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2802 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2802 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: data-node, name-node > Reporter: Hari Mankude > Assignee: Hari Mankude > Attachments: HDFSSnapshotsDesign.pdf, snap.patch, > snapshot-one-pager.pdf, Snapshots20121018.pdf, Snapshots20121030.pdf > > > Snapshots are point in time images of parts of the filesystem or the entire > filesystem.
