Archana T created HDFS-9089: ------------------------------- Summary: Balancer and Mover should use ".system" as reserved inode name instead of "system" Key: HDFS-9089 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9089 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: balancer & mover Reporter: Archana T Assignee: Surendra Singh Lilhore
Currently Balancer and Mover create "/system" for placing mover.id and balancer.id hdfs dfs -ls / drwxr-xr-x - root hadoop 0 2015-09-16 12:49 {color:red}/system{color} This folder created in not deleted once mover or balancer work is completed So user cannot create dir "system" . Its better to make ".system" as reserved inode for balancer and mover instead of "system". -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
