[jira] [Commented] (HDFS-3677) dfs.namenode.edits.dir.required missing from hdfs-default.xml

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3677?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13417639#comment-13417639 ] 

Andy Isaacson commented on HDFS-3677:
-------------------------------------

Am I reading the code right that a given edits dir must be listed in *both* {{dfs.namenode.edits.dir}} and {{dfs.namenode.edits.dir.required}} for the latter to take effect, and if a directory is listed only in {{.required}} it will be silently ignored?

If so, that's a pretty bad admin experience.

> This config should be documented. It's useful for cases where the user would like to ensure that (eg) an NFS filer always has the most up-to-date edits.
