[jira] [Created] (HDFS-10911) Change edit log OP_UPDATE_BLOCKS to store delta blocks only.

Lei (Eddy) Xu created HDFS-10911:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Change edit log OP_UPDATE_BLOCKS to store delta blocks only.
                 Key: HDFS-10911
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10911
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: namenode
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha1, 2.7.3
            Reporter: Lei (Eddy) Xu
            Assignee: Lei (Eddy) Xu


Every time a HDFS client {{close}}  or {{hflush}} an open file, NameNode enumerates all the blocks  and stores then into edit log (OP_UPDATE_BLOCKS). 

It would cause problem when the client is appending a large file frequently (i.e., WAL). 

Because HDFS is append only, we can only store the blocks that have been changed (delta blocks) in edit log.
