----------------------------------

Hi,
I am pretty new to Hadoop and HDFS. I was curious what happens to an incomplete 
file write.
1. Namenode Active and Standby running
2. From a client, i started copying 1 GB file
3. Around 500 MB is copied, while Primary Namenode goes down.

Some how, if i make the standby name node to active and make the client to 
resumbit the request to the new Active name node, whether file copying will 
continue from where it is left or it will restart ?

I am seeing some issues with acquiring of Lease in case of client requesting to 
the new Active name node. Can anyone please help me with this ?

> Currently Secondary name-node acts as mere checkpointer.
> Secondary name-node should be transformed into a standby name-node (SNN). 
> The long term goal is to make it a warm standby. 
> The purpose of this issue is to provide real time streaming of edits to SNN 
> so that it contained the up-to-date namespace state.
