Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-3405:
----------------------------------
Popping up one level, I wonder, since we're uploading one one fsimage at a
time, why the code should handle multipart requests?
Personally I'm conservative on bringing new dependency on hadoop-core projects.
It can easily become an issue for downstream project, especially they can bring
in the same jar with different version. For example, what we end up in Falcon
now is that it depends on three different version of servlet API jar. Figuring
out the right order of classpath is quite challenging. :-(

> the current scheme for a checkpointing daemon to upload a merged fsimage
> file to an NN is to issue an HTTP get request to tell the target NN to issue
> another GET request back to the checkpointing daemon to retrieve the merged
> fsimage file. There's no fundamental reason the checkpointing daemon can't
> just use an HTTP POST or PUT to send back the merged fsimage file, rather
> than the double-GET scheme.
