Zhe Zhang commented on HDFS-8983: --------------------------------- Quick note that I'm working on backporting HDFS-10744 to branch-2.7; since this change is not in branch-2.7, the overlapping part won't be backported. If someone plans to backport this to branch-2.7, please remember to add the optimization from HDFS-10744. > NameNode support for protected directories > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-8983 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-8983 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: namenode > Affects Versions: 2.7.1 > Reporter: Arpit Agarwal > Assignee: Arpit Agarwal > Fix For: 2.8.0, 3.0.0-alpha1 > > Attachments: HDFS-8393.01.patch, HDFS-8393.02.patch, > HDFS-8983.03.patch, HDFS-8983.04.patch > > > To protect important system directories from inadvertent deletion (e.g. > /Users) the NameNode can allow marking directories as _protected_.
