Hairong Kuang updated HADOOP-3187:
----------------------------------

    Release Note: 
The directory quota is a hard limit on the number of names in the tree rooted 
at that directory. This jira allows an administrator to set quotas on 
individual directories explicitly. Newly created directories have no associated 
quota. The largest quota is Long.Max_Value. A quota of one forces a directory 
to remain empty.  File/directory creations fault if the quota would be 
exceeded. Quotas stick to renamed directories; the rename operation 
faults if operation would result in a quota violation. The attempt to set a 
quota faults if the directory would be in violation of the new quota. 
    Hadoop Flags: [Reviewed]
