Allen Wittenauer updated HDFS-327:
----------------------------------
Labels: newbie (was: )
> DataNode should warn about unknown files in storage
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HDFS-327
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-327
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Raghu Angadi
> Assignee: Jakob Homan
> Labels: newbie
>
> DataNode currently just ignores the files it does not know about. There could
> be a lot of files left in DataNode's storage that never get noticed or
> deleted. These files could be left because of bugs or by a misconfiguration.
> E.g. while upgrading from 0.17, DN left a lot of metada files that were not
> named in correct format for 0.18 (HADOOP-4663).
> The proposal here is simply to make DN print a warning for each of the
> unknown files at the start up. This at least gives a way to list all the
> unknown files and (equally importantly) forces a notion of "known" and
> "unknown" files in the storage.
