Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HDFS-3521: ---------------------------------------------- > I also don't understand why this patch was only committed to branch-1. ... It is because only branch-1 has the UNCHECKED_REGION_LENGTH stuff as Colin mentioned earlier. > Allow namenode to tolerate edit log corruption > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3521 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3521 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: name-node > Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Assignee: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Fix For: 1.2.0 > > Attachments: h3521_20120610_b-1.patch, h3521_20120611_b-1.patch > > > HDFS-3479 adds checking for edit log corruption. It uses a fixed > UNCHECKED_REGION_LENGTH (=PREALLOCATION_LENGTH) so that the bytes at the end > within the length is not checked. Instead of not checking the bytes, we > should check everything and allow toleration. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
