Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-2704:
--------------------------------------

bq. having a corrupted edit log because we tried to roll them when there were 
no inodes available is a very bad thing.

Certainly true, though it seems unlikely that this would result in a truly 
corrupt edit log that the NN couldn't restart from, since running out of inodes 
would presumably result in no file being created at all, which isn't an invalid 
edit log.

bq. NameNode also does create local image/edits files upon every checkpointing 
and such - so the inode monitoring is surely relevant.
