Eli Collins commented on HDFS-3731:
-----------------------------------
Colin, the approach and your patch looks good to me. What's the latest on
testing? Eg you verified a v1 install with hsync files correctly upgraded (eg
leases recovered) to v2 or trunk build with this patch?
Nicholas, do you have cycles to take a look? I spent a while paging in the
relevant code and the patch/testing look good to me but would be good to have
another set of eyes. The patch itself is straight-forward so mostly around
subtleties.

> Release 2.0 upgrades must handle blocks being written to (bbw) files from 1.0
> release. Problem reported by Brahma Reddy.
> The {{DataNode}} will only have one block pool after upgrading from a 1.x
> release. (This is because in the 1.x releases, there were no block pools--
> or equivalently, everything was in the same block pool). During the upgrade,
> we should hardlink the block files from the {{blocksBeingWritten}} directory
> into the {{rbw}} directory of this block pool. Similarly, on {{-finalize}},
> we should delete the {{blocksBeingWritten}} directory.
