Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-4849: --------------------------------------- bq. I thought that at Hadoop Summit we talked about getting the retry cache done first (HDFS-4942) and doing this later as an optimization. Is there any reason why this ought to go in before HDFS-4942? This is how I recall it as well. bq. Let me know how you want it to be. Please change idempotent to retry-enabled or some thing like that. Please see an early patch I have attached to HDFS-4979 on how retry cache looks like. > Idempotent create and append operations. > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-4849 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4849 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: namenode > Affects Versions: 2.0.4-alpha > Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko > Assignee: Konstantin Shvachko > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: idempotentCreate-branch2.patch, idempotentCreate.patch, > idempotentCreate.patch, idempotentCreate.patch, idempotentCreate.patch > > > create, append and delete operations can be made idempotent.
