Kihwal Lee created HDFS-6384: -------------------------------- Summary: Provide an alternative offline file system analysis tool Key: HDFS-6384 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6384 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 2.5.0 Reporter: Kihwal Lee Priority: Critical
Per discussion in HDFS-6293, we need an alternative way of analyzing file system offline. Some use cases can be covered by post-processing the new PB-based fsimage without consuming much resources, but others may need a way to efficiently generating fully constructed name space. Once we have a better solution, we should deprecate NN's ability to save its partial state in the old fsimage format. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
