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. > Serialize INode information in protobuf > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-5738 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5738 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Haohui Mai > Assignee: Haohui Mai > Attachments: HDFS-5738.000.patch > > > This jira proposes to serialize inode information with protobuf. > Snapshot-related information are out of the scope of this jira. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
