Raid should store the metadata in HDFS --------------------------------------
Key: MAPREDUCE-1837 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1837 Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce Issue Type: Improvement Components: contrib/raid Affects Versions: 0.22.0 Reporter: Scott Chen Assignee: Scott Chen Fix For: 0.22.0 Currently if you change the stripe length in the raid policy. The existing raided files cannot be recovered. Also in the future if we want to upgrade to a better erasure code such as Reed-Solomon or LDPC and change the policy for that. The same problem will happen. We can avoid this problem if we store the information in a metadata file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
