Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-3791: --------------------------------------- when I added this in trunk, I was not sure if there is a usecase. The whole idea was to give up lock once deleting some number of blocks. So the number currently is arbitrary. > Backport HDFS-173 to Branch-1 : Recursively deleting a directory with > millions of files makes NameNode unresponsive for other commands until the > deletion completes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3791 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3791 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: name-node > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Assignee: Uma Maheswara Rao G > Fix For: 1.2.0 > > Attachments: HDFS-3791.patch, HDFS-3791.patch, HDFS-3791.patch > > > Backport HDFS-173. > see the > [comment|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2815?focusedCommentId=13422007&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13422007] > for more details -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
