Yeah, that's what struck me immediately too. I believe this was one of the reasons for moving (quickly) on Kerberos security for Hadoop. Even with that, there's still a relatively high barrier if you someone says the words "FIPS" or "HIPAA".
I love HDFS. The damn thing never breaks, no matter what hardware or user we throw at it. Our scientists love it. However, there's a damn good reason that transactions were invented, especially for accounting/billing matters...
