Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-5738:
----------------------------------

This patch serializes the inode information into two sections, INODE and 
INODE_DIRECTORY. On a high level, the inode information can be seen as a graph, 
where the inode are the vertices and the references are the edges. The INODE 
section records the information about the inode, such as atime / mtime. The 
INODE_DIRECTORY section records the all children for each inode.

The design simplifies the serialization of snapshot information.
