> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: snapshots

> When we deletesnapshot, we are deleting the blocks associated to that
> snapshot and after that we do logsync to editlog about deleteSnapshot.
> There can be a chance that blocks removed from blocks map but before log sync
> if there is BR , NN may finds that block does not exist in blocks map and
> may invalidate that block. As part HB, invalidation info also can go. After
> this steps if Namenode shutdown before actually do logsync, On restart it
> will still consider that snapshot Inodes and expect blocks to report from DN.
> Simple solution is, we should simply move down that blocks removal after
> logsync only. Similar to delete op.
