[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-5193) SecondaryNameNode does not rollImage because of incorrect calculation of edits modification time.

+1, looks good

note. you actually removed lastModified() and not length().

> Secondary name-node cannot complete the second phase of the checkpoint because getFsEditsTime() returns the mod time of {{edits.new}} rather than {{edits}} file.
> The difference is that {{edits}} remains unchanged during the whole checkpoint process an therefore can serve as an invariant. On the contrary {{edits.new}} is changing all the time since it is the target of the edits log during checkpoint. So comparison of the mod time of {{edits.new}} before and after checkpoint fail and name-node does not upload new image file from the secondary node and does not truncate edits files.
