New semantics for recoverLease ------------------------------ Key: HDFS-1554 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1554 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Hairong Kuang Assignee: Hairong Kuang Fix For: 0.20-append, 0.22.0, 0.23.0
Current recoverLease API implemented in append 0.20 aims to provide a lighter weight (comparing to using create/append) way to trigger a file's soft lease expiration. From both the use case of hbase and scribe, it could have a stronger semantics: revoking the file's lease, thus starting lease recovery immediately. Also I'd like to port this recoverLease API to HDFS 0.22 and trunk since HBase is moving to HDFS 0.22. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
