Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-955:
------------------------------------------

Todd, I did not get a clear idea whether what you are trying to explain belongs 
to HDFS-957 or HDFS-909 or yet a new jira. But it does not seem to belong here. 
I thought this issue was about fixing a rather simple bug of correcting the 
order in which directories are scanned when we save fsimage and purge edits. I 
don't think the issue should be converted into a project at this point, because 
the problem stated here has a simple solution, and because it is important to 
fix it. Could you please indicate whether you still have intention to fix it.
