SreeHari commented on HDFS-2704: -------------------------------- Is a low number of fs inodes a problem for namenode ? Since namenode doesn't create new files in the local filesystem (unlike datanode) while it is running , will it be fine if we put nn into safe mode when system run out of inodes ? Or are we talking about just logging a warning ? > NameNodeResouceChecker#checkAvailableResources should check for inodes > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2704 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2704 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 0.24.0 > Reporter: Eli Collins > Assignee: SreeHari > > NameNodeResouceChecker#checkAvailableResources currently just checks for free > space. However inodes are also a file system resource that needs to be > available (you can run out of inodes but have free space). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
