Hi all: I am very interested about the principles and functions of Hadoop. Now I am devoted into research on its architecture and code. The related documents really helped me much, however, there are still some puzzles that I could not get clear. Would anyone have time to explain them? the questions are described below: 1.what is the essential purpose of the file VERSION? Can anyone illustrate some certain situations that the system would fail without the help of VERSION? 2.I notice that there are many temp directories, representing different states of block, which will help during the start-up of datanode for recovering. is there some meterial giving a clear description of functions and logic of such directories?
thank you very much! Best Regards :) -- Best Wishes 4 U ^_^ Aki Dyerac HUSt Dai Tan ~~~~~~~~~ Let me behave as once in the last night before the examination, daily
