Key: HDFS-1363 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1363 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.21.0 Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko Fix For: 0.21.1 {{FSNamesystem.startFileInternal}} should convert the last block of the file opened for append to an under-construction block and return it. This will let remove the second synchronized section in {{FSNamesystem.appendFile()}} and avoid redundant computations and potential inconsistencies as stated in HDFS-1152. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
