> Offline Namenode fsImage verification
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-215
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-215
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Brian Bockelman
>
> Currently, there is no way to verify that a copy of the fsImage is not
> corrupt. I propose that we should have an offline tool that loads the
> fsImage into memory to see if it is usable. This will allow us to automate
> backup testing to some extent.
> One can start a namenode process on the fsImage to see if it can be loaded,
> but this is not easy to automate.
> To use HDFS in production, it is greatly desired to have both checkpoints -
> and have some idea that the checkpoints are valid! No one wants to see the
> day where they reload from backup only to find that the fsImage in the backup
> wasn't usable.
