Colin Patrick McCabe reassigned HDFS-5223:
------------------------------------------
Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe
> Allow edit log/fsimage format changes without changing layout version
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-5223
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5223
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: namenode
> Affects Versions: 2.1.1-beta
> Reporter: Aaron T. Myers
> Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe
>
> Currently all HDFS on-disk formats are version by the single layout version.
> This means that even for changes which might be backward compatible, like the
> addition of a new edit log op code, we must go through the full `namenode
> -upgrade' process which requires coordination with DNs, etc. HDFS should
> support a lighter weight alternative.
