Hi Cagdas & Michael,
our cluster works fine with no crashes so far even with more than one
million files - we have 11 datanodes and one namenode...
Cu on the 'net,
Bye - bye,

From my experience, the namenode almost never crashes. It does use a lot of
RAM, but not nearly as much as it used to. You might have problems if you have
many many small files (maybe 100,000s?).
I have had more problems with datanode failures, particularly when there is
mapreduce-generated load on the machines running the datanodes.

From your experience with Hadoop Distributed File System,
how reliable is the namenode? How often does it fail? Are there mechanisms
developed outside of Hadoop to make namenode more fault tolerant?
Thanks for your feedback,
