Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-7929:
---------------------------------
Good question Sangjin. HDFS-8846 is a test-only change and I think it's OK to
leave it to the next release.

> inotify is often used to periodically poll HDFS events. However, once an HDFS
> upgrade has started, edit logs are moved to /previous on the NN, which is not
> accessible. Moreover, once the upgrade is finalized /previous is currently
> lost forever.
