    Description

      Systems with transaction support often need to undo changes made to the underlying storage when a transaction is aborted. Currently HDFS does not support truncate (a standard Posix operation) which is a reverse operation of append, which makes upper layer applications use ugly workarounds (such as keeping track of the discarded byte range per file in a separate metadata store, and periodically running a vacuum process to rewrite compacted files) to overcome this limitation of HDFS.
