> Related to HADOOP-726. Currently, there is no good way for distributed apps
> using HDFS or Map/Reduce to synchronize their operations. HDFS locking
> doesn't work very well and lock management is an unnecessary burden on the
> namenode. In addition, it depending on the filesystem for locking could make
> applications less portable. Hadoop should implement a general purpose
> distributed lock management service.
