> In the old design for edits/image storage, the secondary namenode does a
> complicated dance of moving "current/" to "lastcheckpoint.tmp", checkpointing
> into "current/", then moving "lastcheckpoint.tmp" back to
> "previous.checkpoint". The idea here was so that there would always be one
> directory with a valid set of storage files.
> In the HDFS-1073 design, this complicated dance isn't necessary. If a
> checkpoint fails, we can just rm that single fsimage_N.ckpt file and still be
> left with a valid storage directory.
> So, we can just let the 2NN keep a single current/ dir around for all
> checkpoints and eliminate the complexity of the dance.
