The name ".snapshot" is now a reserved file name in HDFS
<b>Note</b> that the name ".snapshot" is now a reserved file name in HDFS
so that users cannot create a file/directory with ".snapshot" as the name.
If ".snapshot" is used in a previous version of HDFS, it must be renamed before upgrade;
otherwise, upgrade will fail.
