Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-4114:
-------------------------------------------
[~sureshms], I missed your comment of Nov 8 while travelling, sorry, still
recovering.
As it stands today BackupNode is the only extension of the NameNode in the
current code base.
It still provides important bindings to downstream projects that I believe we
both care about: by its mere existence and test coverage.
You are right it's been a while and I have a debt to provide proper ones, which
is on my todo list.
I understand the burden of supporting and in the mean time want to reiterate my
readiness to promptly address any related issues.
LMK if I missed or can help with any.
Glanced through your patch.
Saw some things that probably fall as collateral damage, like documentation
about "Import Checkpoint", which is not related to BN.
But, thanks, it nicely scopes for me the essence of the bindings required.
If you wish we can assign this issue to me so that I could take care of it in
the future.
