[jira] Created: (HDFS-957) FSImage layout version should be only once file is complete

FSImage layout version should be only once file is complete
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-957
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-957
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: name-node
    Affects Versions: 0.22.0
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Assignee: Todd Lipcon


Right now, the FSImage save code writes the LAYOUT_VERSION at the head of the file, along with some other headers, and then dumps the directory into the file. Instead, it should write a special IMAGE_IN_PROGRESS entry for the layout version, dump all of the data, then seek back to the head of the file to write the proper LAYOUT_VERSION. This would make it very easy to detect the case where the FSImage save got interrupted.
