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...
