The logic that makes namenode exit safemode should be pluggable ---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1501 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1501 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: dhruba borthakur Assignee: Patrick Kling HDFS RAID creates parity blocks for data blocks. So, even if all replicas of a block is missing, it is possible ro recreate it from the parity blocks. Thus, when the namenode restarts, it should use a different RAID-aware logic to figure out whether all blocks are healthy or not. My proposal is to make the code that NN uses to exit safemode be pluggable. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
