[jira] [Created] (HDFS-5223) Allow edit log/fsimage format changes without changing layout version

Aaron T. Myers created HDFS-5223:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow edit log/fsimage format changes without changing layout version
                 Key: HDFS-5223
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5223
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: namenode
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1-beta
            Reporter: Aaron T. Myers


Currently all HDFS on-disk formats are version by the single layout version. This means that even for changes which might be backward compatible, like the addition of a new edit log op code, we must go through the full `namenode -upgrade' process which requires coordination with DNs, etc. HDFS should support a lighter weight alternative.
