Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-2538: ----------------------------------- Given we know how many files/blocks/whatevers we have in the namespace before we even start the operation, maybe we can just make the dot frequency relative to that? eg print a dot for every 1% or 5% so you just get a line or two, but still have some indication of progress? > option for fsck dots to be on/off > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2538 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2538 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Allen Wittenauer > Attachments: HDFS-2538-branch-0.20-security-204.patch, > HDFS-2538-branch-0.20-security-204.patch > > > this patch turns the dots during fsck off by default and provides an option > to turn them back on if you have a fetish for millions and millions of dots > on your terminal. i haven't done any benchmarks, but i suspect fsck is now > 300% faster to boot. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
