Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-259: ---------------------------------- Thanks for the feedback, Konst. I will add some code to check for an old version and explain that they must upgrade to 0.20 first as a stepping stone, if you think it's necessary. I also realized there are some tests that need a little update. I'll upload a new patch with these changes in the next couple days. > Remove intentionally corrupt 0.13 directory layout creation > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-259 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-259 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Affects Versions: 0.22.0 > Reporter: Todd Lipcon > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Attachments: hdfs-259.txt > > > Given that 0.13 is incredibly old at this point, I think the likelihood of > anyone trying to start an 0.20+ namenode on an 0.13 directly layout is > essentially nil.
