             Summary: Ordered snapshot deletion: Disallow rename between two 
snapshottable directories
                 Key: HDFS-15483
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-15483
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: snapshots
            Reporter: Tsz-wo Sze


With the ordered snapshot deletion feature, only the *earliest* snapshot can be 
actually deleted from the file system.  If renaming between snapshottable 
directories is allowed, only the earliest snapshot among all the snapshottable 
directories can be actually deleted.  In such case, individual snapshottable 
directory may not be able to free up the resources by itself.

Therefore, we propose disallowing renaming between snapshottable directories in 
this JIRA.
