Matt Foley commented on HDFS-1073: ---------------------------------- I would phrase it that the "purge policy" determines how long to retain the files online, and what to do with them after you no longer want to keep them online - archive, delete, or whatever. So calling it Retention Policy and RetentionManager would be fine. > 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.
