Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1800:
-----------------------------------
I'm leaning towards option #1 since it will make writing new files slightly
simpler - no need to read in and re-write an existing file.
> Extend image checksumming to function with multiple fsimage files

> Key: HDFS-1800
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1800
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: name-node
> Affects Versions: Edit log branch (HDFS-1073)
> Reporter: Todd Lipcon
> Assignee: Todd Lipcon
> Fix For: Edit log branch (HDFS-1073)
>
>
> HDFS-903 added the MD5 checksum of the fsimage to the VERSION file in each
> image directory. This allows it to verify that the FSImage didn't get
> corrupted or accidentally replaced on disk.
> With HDFS-1073, there may be multiple fsimage_N files in a storage directory
> corresponding to different checkpoints. So having a single MD5 in the VERSION
> file won't suffice. Instead we need to store an MD5 per image file.
