Manoj Govindassamy resolved HDFS-12918. --------------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix We have an upgrade incompatible fix landed in C6 at e565b5277d5b890dad107fe85e295a3907e4bfc1. The fix is necessary and it verifies the EC Policy state when loading FSImage. This issue is nothing to do with the default value for the ECPolicyState field in the ErasureCodingPolicyProto. While the ECPolicyState field is optional in ECPolocyProto message for over the wire communications, but its mandatory in FSImage for the EC files. I hope the upgrade incompatible changes before the C6 GA are ok. Please let me know if you have other thoughts. > NameNode fails to start after upgrade - Missing state in ECPolicy Proto > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-12918 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-12918 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: hdfs > Affects Versions: 3.0.0-beta1 > Reporter: Zach Amsden > Assignee: Manoj Govindassamy > Priority: Critical > > According to documentation and code comments, the default setting for erasure > coding policy is disabled: > /** Policy is disabled.
