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

    Resolution: Not A Problem

> NameNode startup fails if edit log terminates prematurely
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: HDFS-87
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-87
>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>         Environment: ~50 node cluster
>            Reporter: Bryan Pendleton
>         Attachments: fixNameNodeStartup.patch
>
>
> I ran out of space on the device that stores the edit log, resulting in an 
> edit log that is truncated mid transaction.
> Ideally, the NameNode should start up, in SafeMode or the like, whenever this 
> happens. Right now, you get this stack trace:
