[jira] [Resolved] (HDFS-233) Support for snapshots

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-233?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Allen Wittenauer resolved HDFS-233.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Closing this as a duplicate.

Historical fun fact:

Sanjay would ask me what features I'd like to see in HDFS quickly followed by a "Don't say snapshots!"  After HDFS-2802 was committed, the next time I saw him he said "You should be happy! You finally got your #1 HDFS request!"

> Support HDFS snapshots. It should support creating snapshots without shutting down the file system. Snapshot creation should be lightweight and a typical system should be able to support a few thousands concurrent snapshots. There should be a way to surface (i.e. mount) a few of these snapshots simultaneously.
