Jakob Homan resolved HDFS-209. ------------------------------ Resolution: Duplicate Progress is being made on this feature in HDFS-1448. Closing this one. > Provide tool to view/change edits file > -------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-209 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-209 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Lohit Vijayarenu > > At present if edits file is corrupt namenode fails to start throwing > EOFException as seen this this jira HADOOP-820. One way out in such cases was > to remove offending entry from edits, but that is not straight forward as > edits is a binary file. So, workaround was to ignore EOFException and > continue with namenode startup. It would be good to have a tool to view edits > entries or even modify it to a recoverable state. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
