Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1073: ----------------------------------- Replying to Suresh [above|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1073?focusedCommentId=13068216&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13068216] regarding CHANGES.txt: I agree that our current protocol isn't great. The problem with the way federation was done is that, although federation is a New Feature, many of the subcomponents were just bug fixes against the federation branch. Would it be OK with you if I did the following? - add in the NEW FEATURES section: "HDFS-1073. Redesign the NameNode's storage layout for image checkpoints and edit logs to introduce transaction IDs and be more robust. Please see HDFS-1073 section below for breakout of individual patches." - add a new section called "BREAKOUT OF HDFS-1073 Subtasks" with the contents of CHANGES.HDFS-1073.txt > Simpler model for Namenode's fs Image and edit Logs > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-1073 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1073 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: Sanjay Radia > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > Attachments: hdfs-1073-editloading-algos.txt, hdfs-1073-merge.patch, > hdfs-1073-merge.patch, hdfs-1073.txt, hdfs1073.pdf, hdfs1073.pdf, > hdfs1073.pdf, hdfs1073.tex > > > The naming and handling of NN's fsImage and edit logs can be significantly > improved resulting simpler and more robust code. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
