Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-955: ------------------------------------------ It is good to have the test. I ran it on current trunk. It successfully gets the expected exception, but then fails to close FSNamesystem with NPE. So yes it fails but not where you wanted it to. > FSImage.saveFSImage can lose edits > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-955 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-955 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.20.1, 0.21.0, 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: hdfs-955-unittest.txt, PurgeEditsBeforeImageSave.patch > > > This is a continuation of a discussion from HDFS-909.
