Eli Collins commented on HDFS-1509: ----------------------------------- Isn't there a motivation for the Namenode no longer writing new edits to a directory when it encounters an error while writing to a fs.name.dir directory? eg that constantly try writing to a failed directory slows things down. > Resync discarded directories in fs.name.dir during saveNamespace command > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-1509 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1509 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: name-node > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > > In the current implementation, if the Namenode encounters an error while > writing to a fs.name.dir directory it stops writing new edits to that > directory. My proposal is to make the namenode write the fsimage to all > configured directories in fs.name.dir, and from then on, continue writing > fsedits to all configured directories. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
