Konstantin Shvachko commented on HDFS-4849: ------------------------------------------- > Is there any reason why this ought to go in before HDFS-4942? Is there any reason to postpone it any longer? I don't think we talked about what goes first what goes later. Just that both make sense. It's been almost 2 months now with a lot of words exchanged. I personally still don't understand what is the resistance based on and don't see why we should not move this forward. Let's have some action here. I will plan to commit this by the end of the day. And you know what to do if you feel strongly. I mean I have things to do other than rewriting the same 30 lines over and over again. > 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.
