Yongjun Zhang commented on HDFS-5939: ------------------------------------- Thanks ATM for answering my question. Hi Haohui, I just posted a new version 005. About the message, since among three of us, two voted that having the message is helpful, I'm keeping it:-) I hope you are not bothered. I do see its value, since very often we look at log file from night runs, from jenkins test we run ourselves after making a fix. Would you please help review again?
