[jira] [Created] (HDFS-4300) TransferFsImage.downloadEditsToStorage should use a tmp file for destination

Todd Lipcon created HDFS-4300:
---------------------------------

             Summary: TransferFsImage.downloadEditsToStorage should use a tmp file for destination
                 Key: HDFS-4300
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4300
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.2-alpha
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Assignee: Todd Lipcon
            Priority: Critical


Currently, in TransferFsImage.downloadEditsToStorage, we download the edits file directly to its finalized path. So, if the transfer fails in the middle, a half-written file is left and cannot be distinguished from a correct file. So, future checkpoints by the 2NN will fail, since the file is truncated in the middle -- but it won't ever download a good copy because it thinks it already has the proper file.
