Robert Joseph Evans commented on HDFS-3731: ------------------------------------------- I thought that hardlinks to directories are not typically supported. HSF+ on the mac is the only one I know of that allows it. I am nervous about implementing an upgrade path that will only work on a Mac. Did you actually mean a symbolic link, or did you intend to hardlink all of the files in the directories? > 2.0 release upgrade must handle blocks being written from 1.0 > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3731 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3731 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: data-node > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha > Reporter: Suresh Srinivas > Assignee: Todd Lipcon > Priority: Blocker > > Release 2.0 upgrades must handle blocks being written to (bbw) files from 1.0 > release.
