Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-4114:
---------------------------------------
In federation, we wanted to use CheckpointNode for sharing a single
checkpointer for all the namenodes in a cluster, triggered based on crontab. I
have not had time to explore this further.
Looking at the discussion so far, I understand removing/deprecating if no one
plans to use or work on BackupNode. Given that Konstantin has indicated
interest in pursuing it, I would leave it as it is right now. Konstantin, it
would be great if you can share your plans and timelines. Meanwhile, for next
few months, if any issues crop up, I volunteer to spend my time fixing them.
> Deprecate the BackupNode and CheckpointNode in 2.0
