Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HDFS-2963: -------------------------------------------- The metasave output isn't wrong per se, just confusing. It prints out: {code} Created file sav.txt on server hdfs://127.0.0.1:6000 {code} But it really would be less confusing to print out: {code} Created file /r/log/sav.txt about hdfs://127.0.0.1:6000 {code} > Console Output is confusing while executing metasave (dfsadmin command) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-2963 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2963 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: J.Andreina > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.24.0 > > > While giving the command > ./hdfs dfsadmin -metasave /filename > In the console the following message is displayed > " created file /filename on server hdfs://ip:port" > it is not created as hdfs file but will be created on local machine under log > folder -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
