(ref [this thread|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hbase-user/201502.mbox/%3CCAMUu0w9aOVBo7kGULiM9tXrULirqs9fm-3ra3pQccYpW_17uOw@mail.gmail.com%3E]) > We should add a NOTE in the replication section that wals are saved across enable/disable so long as there are peers. There looks like there might also be some confusing language around replication being enabled in the configs vs the enable/disable suspension mechanism. > We should also add a troubleshooting item specific for "my HDFS space keeps growing and it's all in oldWALs." -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
